One of the most significant Romanesque monuments in Prague, this church is the second oldest in the city and was founded around 920. The church, located on Jiřské Square, is distinguished by two white stone spires, 41 m high. The wider southern tower is called "Adam", and the narrower northern tower is called "Eva" and stands at a slight angle (about 40 cm).

Die Basilika St. Georg in Prag, tschechisch Bazilika svatého Jiří, ist eine der ältesten Kirchen der Stadt und ein bedeutendes Beispiel romanischer Architektur in Böhmen. Sie befindet sich im Areal der Prager Burg und wurde um das Jahr 920 von Fürst Vratislav I. gegründet. Besonders markant sind ihre beiden ungleichen weißen Türme, die im Volksmund „Adam“ und „Eva“ genannt werden. Die schlichte romanische Bauweise im Inneren steht in starkem Kontrast zur prächtigen, rot gefassten Barockfassade, die im späten 17. Jahrhundert hinzugefügt wurde. Die Basilika diente über Jahrhunderte als Grablege der Herrscher aus der Přemysliden-Dynastie, darunter auch der heiligen Ludmila, der Großmutter des heiligen Wenzel.

Wspaniała świątynia.
