Dominant of the Small Country
It is a grand 80-meter building with a huge dome, twenty meters in diameter, decorated with many sculptures, paintings by famous masters of the time, frescoes and stucco, elegant columns and spacious galleries, and the interior of the temple from the beginning impressed citizens and visitors and splendor. The size of the temple, the panoramic value of which is decisive for the left bank of the Vltava, is impressive: the width of the temple is 40 meters, the width of the nave is 30 meters, the length of the temple without stairs is 60 meters.→

The most striking example of the Prague Baroque.
By right, the Church of St. Nicholas, which is located in the Lesser Town area, is considered the most outstanding Prague temple building in the Baroque style. The architecture and interior of this style truly amaze with its beauty, and the temple with its extraordinary size. The entrance to the church is paid (70 crowns), but this is nothing compared to the impressions that you will get from visiting this attraction.→

High baroque a few steps away
This church is located a few steps from the tram stop at Lesser Town Square. Tram 22 will take you from Wenceslas Square, a few blocks away, to a stop at Prague Castle or up to the monastery. The Church of St. Nicholas is an excellent example of the high baroque in Prague, and is the decoration of the city of that period. Even when it was dark, and it is not so interesting to look at the paintings in the upper gallery, it is still worth going up here. In the evening, concerts are held here - a good addition to a church visit.→
