St. George's Convent, Prague

The Convent of Saint George was a Benedictine convent located in the Prague Castle in the Czech Republic. Founded in 973, the convent was next to the seat of ecclesiastical and state power in Bohemia and occasionally the entire Holy Roman Empire, and played an important historical role. Although no longer active, the convent's building and the attached Bascilica dedicated to Saint George still exist and the building houses the Czech National Gallery's collection of 19th century Bohemian art.

Although the facade is renewed, and now baroque, this is the best conserved Romanesque church in Prague. Built in 900 check the wood arches to verify how old it is.

This is the oldest church building in the Prague complex, so seeing the old walls here will be so interesting. Today, this functions as a concert hall and a space for a Bohemian Art Collectio

Ancient and interesting inside, but the mystique is broken a bit by the scattered wires and lights everywhere.

It is one of the fifth things you must visit if you buy a classic tour ticket for Prague castle. It is quite charming and it reminds you the catedral in Brescia.

A diferencia de la catedral esta basílica es pequeña, pero eso no demerita su belleza, tanto por dentro como por fuera, tiene una colección de arte bohemio qué vale la pena conocer pacientemente.

Essa pequena igreja é a mais antiga do complexo, mas muito interessante.
