Google Reviews
Ha sido la iglesia principal de esta parte de la ciudad desde el siglo XIV. Situada en la plaza de la ciudad vieja de Praga a unos 100 metros del reloj astronómico. Las torres de la iglesia tienen ochenta metros de alto y de noche tienen una hermosa iluminación. Muy disfrutable a la vista.
Es impresionante, una pena que no se pueda ver desde más cerca, pero también es la gracia de esta iglesia, que se integra con el resto de casas y calles de la zona. De noche, al estar iluminada, impresiona mucho más. Una belleza arquitectónica sin duda.
Emplazada en el corazón de Praga está bonita iglesia es realmente bella e impresionante por su gran altura y por su apariencia de castillo. Ubicada en una plaza con gran actividad aquí se desarrollan los mercadillos navideños.
