Prague - Basilica of St George

(Local Name: Bazilika sv Jiri) The Basilica of St George (Bazilika sv Jiri) in the Prague Castle has undergone many renovations and alterations over the centuries but maintains its Romanesque form. There has been a church on this location since the early part of the 10th Century, but the current structure, which features two towers, dates to the mid 12th Century. The façade is the result of work done in the 17th Century. The Basilica of St George holds the tombs of Vlatislav I, who died in 921, Duke Bolislav II, who died in 999, and St Ludmila, the wife of Duke Borivoj and first female Czech saint.
