Magnifique cathédrale dotée d’une belle acoustique.

Attended a Vivaldi concert at St. Clement Cathedral in Prague. The performance was lovely—talented musicians and excellent acoustics that really brought the music to life. The church itself is modest compared to Prague’s more ornate cathedrals, so don’t go expecting jaw-dropping architecture. Tickets were on the pricey side for the overall experience, but the quality of the music made it worthwhile. A pleasant evening if you’re in the mood for a classical treat in a historic setting.

Facilmente individuabile lungo la strada Karlova, la Cattedrale di San Clemente è senza ombra di dubbio una delle chiese più belle della meravigliosa Città Vecchia di Praga. Questa cattedrale dall'aspetto così solenne fu costruita tra il 1711 e il 1715 su progetto dell'architetto Antonio Lurago ed è un grande esempio di architettura in stile barocco. All'interno la chiesa ha un aspetto riccamente decorato, con statue dei Padri della Chiesa e gli Evangelisti poste nelle nicchie delle pareti, opera di Matthias Braun. L'altare principale è arricchito da un dipinto di Josef Kramolín. Oggi la chiesa, resa cattedrale nel 1996 da papa Giovanni Paolo II, è famosa per i suoi concerti classici, molto popolari (il prezzo di uno spettacolo è circa 800 corone, cioè 32€).
