Drive around the cathedral of Prague, is through thousand years of history.
From the Renaissance to Today
St. Vitus is the penultimate French cathedral type (the latter being the Duomo of Milan). It was Jean of Luxembourg, said the Blind (died at the Battle of Crecy), king of Bohemia, who succeeded in passing the Prague bishopric to the rank of archdiocese in 1344. Construction of the cathedral is decided the same year.
