  • Created here

    Queen Anne's Summer Palace

    One of the purest examples of Italian Renaissance architecture outside Italy.

  • Burial place

    St. Vitus Cathedral

    The cathedral contains the tomb of Wenceslas, the murdered Přemyslid ruler whose brother seized power after his death in 935. Charles IV later dedicated the Bohemian crown to the dead saint, meaning that subsequent kings symbolically borrowed their authority from an assassination victim buried beneath the chapel floor.
