Summary
| Description |
English: St. George's Basilica is the oldest church in Prague Castle. It was founded by Prince Vratislav (915-921) in 920. The basilica was then enlarged in 973 with the construction of St. George's Benedictine Convent. In 1142 St. George's Basilica had to be rebuilt following a fire. The Baroque facade that we see today was added in 1671-1691.
Inside the church are several tombs of major historic importance. There is the tomb of St. Ludmila, the saint and widow of the 9th century ruler Prince Borivoj. Also buried in the basilica are Prince Vratislav and Boleslav II. |
