Krátky popis
Emperor and King Charles IV had many monumental edifices built, but
paid special attention to the Cathedral of St. Vitus at the Prague
Castle. He wanted it to be a Gothic masterpiece – a stone epitome
of faith, the symbol of royal majesty, the see of the archbishop,
the cult center of the land patrons, the place of royal crowning
and the royal as well as national necropolis. No other church in
Europe plays so many roles of great importance. The project of
Matthias of Arras, the first architect of the cathedral, was
literally one of the architectural wonders of that time.
Commissioned to build a Gothic house of prayer in Prague modeled
after cathedrals in Southern France, he inconspicuously modified
the assignment according to his own ideas and local traditions. The
approach of his successor Peter Parler was so distinctive,
ingenious and yet architecturally risky that he fell afoul of
backthen recognized rules. Looking at the cathedral, originally
consecrated to the unknown Sicilian martyr Vitus and built in the
heart of our capital city, from afar, up close and from inside,
people are in awe of its impressive grandness even now in the 21st
century. The Prague cathedral is not the oldest, largest or highest
cathedral in Europe, but is unparalleled with its breathtaking
balance. It is 124m long, 60m wide and over 33m high. The Southern
Spire, which is almost 100m high, has become the landmark of the
capital city. Over 8,000 people can hear the word of God inside
this sacred place all at once.
