figures on main doors
one clock shows the hour another the minutes
Prague Castle, seen from across the river, dominates the skyline, especially Saint Vitus Cathedral and Lobkowicz Palace.
Saint Vitus Cathedral is situated within the Prague Castle complex.
To pay to walk around inside, but can enter the main doors and enjoy the stunning view looking down the nave.
Had I paid, I would have learnt contains the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors.
Two key features are the figures on the main doors and above the doors, and the clocks.
The figures on the doors, cast in metal, are amazing.
I was puzzled by the clocks, why one above the other? Why two clocks? The time was such, they both appeared to be showing the same time.
It was only after observing over a period of several minutes, I realised one was showing the hour, the other the minutes.
