St George's Basilica

This basilica was founded in 915 and predates the St Vitus Cathedral. It is the best preserved Romanesque church in Prague. It was enlarged in 973 when the adjoining St George's Convent was established here.







Tomb of St Ludmilla
She became Bohemia's first female christian martyr : she was strangled as she knelt down to pray.
