St. Vitus Cathedral is an amazing Gothic structure that watches over the city of Prague. It was began in 1344 and not completed until 1929. It was named after Vitus, a Roman slave. You can see the scuplture on one of the doors of people bringing his arm as a relic to the cathedral. I guess you can say that he had a hand in building the cathedral!

What a beautiful building! A little sick, with the "arm delivery", but I guess if it's a Gothic structure, that kind of goes hand in hand... ha ha...
Hi Doug,
Welcome to the blogging world! I happened upon your blog through a round about way. Your pictures of Prague are beautiful, they make me want to travel. I've been a bit obsessed with European history this year especially Russian so it is nice to have a glimpse into a different world. Maybe I can convince Erich to leave the kids at Grandma's and take a trip!
