St. Giles Church is located in Old Town Prgaue, St. Giles Church is a Baroque & Romanesque space that was built in the late 1300s. The church bell in the tower (one of three) is the oldest in Prague.
This was the first of many churches visited. We were on a marvelous walking tour, hosted by a very knowledgeable and delightful tour guide.
It is hard to fathom the wealth and power held by the Church in the middle ages.
But clearly, faith was a major part of their lives. Below is a portion of the ceiling.
Finally, I did like this statue in a small stone grotto. Backlight, it was actually quite stunning.
The church periodically hosts classical music concerts. I think it would be amazing to hear Mozart echoing through the stone walls and corridors.
