This was, oddly, one of my first good photos of Brno Cathedral, in spite of my having had a much longer visit previously, and at this point in my second trip I had only just got off the train. Officially known as the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, it was built gradually during the 14th and 15th Centuries.

We also visited the cathedral while we were in Olomouc, and the highlight of this was a demonstration of the late-19th Century electric pipe organ (with the original knob and tube wiring). Many people disliked the ornamentation of buildings, churches, organs, and so on during the 19th Century, but in hindsight industrial-era engineering combined with pre-industrial taste produced a much better result, I think, than anything has since.

St. Vitus Cathedral is large enough to have several portals, but this is one of the most beautiful, I think. In real life it gleams with gold leaf (or at least I think that's what it is).
