St. Clement's Cathedral
Old Town, Prague 1

The cathedral is on Karlova street, a pedestrian historically route known as the 'Royal Way', which leads from the Old Town Square to Charles Bridge.

St. Clement's is a magnificent Baroque structure built between 1711–1715 by Antonio Lurago to the plans of architect Frantisek Kaňka. It was erected on the site of an earlier Gothic church.

St. Clement's has a single aisle with a divided ceiling. Its richly decorated interior includes Stucco decorations by S. Gőtzler, paintings by I. Raab and a picture of St. Linhart by P.J. Brandl.

The murals of St. Clement's life in the dome are by J. Hiebl, while his statue is by F.I. Weiss. Other statues are by M.B. Braun.

The side altars, the pulpit, the confessional and the organ loft all deserve attention too, as does the main altar which was painted by J. Kramolín.

St. Clement's Cathedral is owned by the Greek Orthodox Church and is one of the most important examples of Baroque architecture in Prague.

St. Clement's has excellent acoustics and is a magnificent venue for classical music concerts, which often feature the original 18th century Baroque organ.

In winter, St. Clement's Cathedral is heated and the seats have cushions, but it is still advisable to wear warm clothing for concerts.
