svatý Mikuláš
Czechia
Stand in Malostranské náměstí and look up, and the church fills most of your field of view. The Church of St Nicholas, also called the Cathedral-like 'chrám' by Czechs, is a Baroque building that is sometimes judged the most artistically important Baroque structure in Prague, for its sheer monumentality and the demanding quality of its architecture and art. It has been protected as a national cultural monument since 1995. It was not the first church here: a Gothic parish church from the 13th century stood on the spot, dedicated, like this one, to St Nicholas of Myra.
