Among the Gothic cathedrals that I have seen in Europe, the Czech cathedral of St. Vitus is one of the most impressive. St. Vitus Cathedral is considered to be a structure of the Middle Ages. But it is not so. For already in the 10th century on this place there was a small church of St. Vitus, the foundations of which have been partially preserved to this day. This church was decided to expand to the cathedral. And on November 21, 1344, the first stone of the future church was laid here.
