Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
I have been unexpectedly busy in real life lately and I´m sorry that I´m coming with this post one week later than I actually promised but here we go :) After showing you the St. Vitus Cathedral, one of the most renowned pieces of Gothic architecture in Europe, from the outside here on my Hive blog two weeks ago, I will finally take you inside this extraordinary Prague church today.
You might remember how I complained about how challenging it actually is to take photos of this gigantic building from the outside as this giant church is located within relatively confined spaces of the Prague Castle Complex. Honestly, taking pictures of the interiors is not easier at all. Quite the opposite. The enormous height of the cathedral combined with the incredible curves and angles of all the vaults, arches and other architectural features dating back to long centuries ago makes it very difficult to take some decent shots that wouldn´t be too spatially distorted but me and my old phone camera still tried so now, without further ado, let me show you some of the pictures that I took inside of the cathedral :)
I hope you enjoyed the photos. I should also mention that what you could see in them is actually just a little part of the cathedral interiors that you can observe (for free) from a restricted place just behind the main door. If you want to see more of the interiors, you can pay some extra fee and you will be allowed further inside but it was already quite late and we didn´t really feel like paying the fee anyway so we only stayed in the "free zone" behind the main door. That´s actually also where you can admire many of the highly regarded stained glass windows and mosaics from. I zoomed and cropped one my photos of them so that you can see the astonishing details of the artwork.
Now that you have seen the St. Vitus Cathedral both from the outside and inside, you know how prominent and majestic piece of medieval architecture it is and why we are so proud of it ;)
Thanks for your attention everyone and I will see you here on my blog with another Prague post next week. Spoiler alert: stunning panoramic views lovers will certainly be pleased :)
