The Church of St. Barbara, also known as St. Barbara’s Cathedral is one of the most famous buildings in Kutná Hora. The hilltop cathedral was built over five centuries and is considered to be a fine example of Bohemian Gothic architecture. Inside are medieval frescoes, chapels and elaborate reliefs and statues. Construction started in the late 14th century during a time of economic prosperity in the city due to the silver mines. Several long periods of delay meant that the church wasn’t actually completed until 1905\. It is dedicated to St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners. The grandiose appearance of the three-spired exterior is impressive. Bring a pair of binoculars or a camera with a good zoom to get a close look at the many statues of bats, frogs, winged rams and demons that sit on top of the church. Tour the cavernous interior. Much of the internal decor dates back to 19th-century restorations, but there are also a few older pieces. Survey the church’s medieval frescoes. These feature the life of a medieval mining town as well as religious themes. Look at the stained-glass windows, some of which depict medieval mining techniques and ore trading. There are also statues of miners as well as those of biblical figures adorning the church. Lift your gaze up to the magnificent ceiling, which is decorated with miners’ coats of arms. Check out the main altar, behind which is a magnificent wooden relief of the Last Supper. Go to the rear of the church where you’ll see the organ pipes topped by figures of angels playing musical instruments. The Church of St. Barbara is a 10-minute walk from Palackeho Square and the city centre. The church is open daily, although hours vary by season. An admission fee is charged, but there are discounts for children, students and retirees. While you are here, take advantage of the church’s position on top of a hill and admire the magnificent views of the city and surrounding countryside. ## Plan a trip to see Church of St. Barbara Price found within the past 48 hours.

(364 reviews) This is a very good cheap option for staying in Prague. If you're there for the city centre, there is a door to door tram service which takes about 20 minutes to the centre. If you are there for the Congress Centre, it's ten minutes' walk away. The hotel was clean, my room was very spacious and fresh, and the staff were helpful. The hotel does not offer any catering, and the only downside is that the bar/restaurant which shares the site and is supposed to function as the breakfast and dining option, keeps erratic opening hours. It is great when it is open, but do not rely on it being open at the advertised hours. There is a fridge in the rooms and a Lidl five minutes away, so nobody needs to starve.

(36 reviews) Lovely big apartment. Great area. Easy walking to most places. Also plenty of trams. Needed earplugs as busy road outside. Check in wasn't good. Was sent no information. Had to phone to find out where to pick up keys. A place that closed soon after I got there. Would have been good to have been sent that information first, especially as the place to pick them up closes at 11pm. Apart from that the place was great and would stay there again.
