Climb to the top for gorgeous views across the city and the surrounding hills. The tower of St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral is the highest point in the city of Plzeň and the tallest church tower in the country. Admire the views from the top and explore the cathedral interior for its beautiful pieces of religious art. This Gothic church is thought to have been established toward the end of the 13th century, at the same time as the city was founded. However, the current building dates back to the 14th century. Since then, it has been subject to several renovation and remodeling projects. Although impressive in scale from the outside, the real appeal of St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral lies inside. Enter through the main door and look up at the net vault ceiling, which reaches 82 feet (25 metres) in height. Go up to the 19th-century main altar and view the 14th-century sculpture depicting the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. The marble carving is also known as the Madonna of Pilsen. Either side of the altar are 16th- and 17th-century wooden statues of saints. They used to adorn some of the cathedral's altars, but these were removed during previous restorations. See the 16th-century painting of St. Mary Magdalene, located on the organ loft pillar. Visit the Sternberk Chapel for its stunning art nouveau altar, which won a prize for its design in the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris. Make your way to the tower. With its steeple, this lofty structure stands at nearly 336 feet (102 metres). Pay the small fee to climb up the 301 steps to the viewing balcony. From here, peer down upon the whole of Plzeň and farther afield to hills that surround the city. St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral is located on Náměstí Republiky, Plzeň's main square. As such, it has good public transportation links. The church is open daily for services and self-guided tours. After your visit, check out some of the square’s other attractions, including the Town Hall and the Puppet Museum. ## Plan a trip to see St. Bartholomew's Cathedral Price found within the past 48 hours.
