Prague Summer - St Vitus Cathedral ‧布拉格之夏 - 聖維特大教堂

St. Vitus Cathedral is the most beautiful building in Prague in my eyes. This church has set a typical example of Gothic architecture since 1344. The cathedral is so large that it's hardly to take a full view in one picture.
聖維特大教堂 - 本人眼中位於布拉格最美麗的建築物。這座教堂於1344年建立,乃典型的哥德式建築。單一張相片無法拍得其全貎,可見其規模之大。
