The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus and Adalbert (Czech: metropolitní katedrála svatého Víta, Václava a Vojtěcha) is a Catholic metropolitan cathedral in Prague, and the seat of the Archbishop of Prague. Until 1997, the cathedral was dedicated only to Saint Vitus, and is still commonly named only as St. Vitus Cathedral (Czech: katedrála svatého Víta or svatovítská katedrála).

This cathedral is a prominent example of Gothic architecture, and is the largest and most important church in the country. Located within Prague Castle and containing the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors, the cathedral is under the ownership of the Czech government as part of the Prague Castle complex. Cathedral dimensions are 124 m × 60 m (407 ft × 197 ft), the main tower is 102.8 m (337 ft) high, front towers 82 m (269 ft), arch height 33.2 m (109 ft).


The magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral is a vital part of the history of Prague Castle. It was founded in 1344 and took nearly 600 years to be constructed. The grand interiors of this Gothic masterpiece boast a range of wonders, including the beautifully decorated St. Wenceslas Chapel with the tomb of Saint Wenceslas, the crypt where many Czech kings are buried, and the Crown Chamber, home to the Bohemian crown jewels.
