EDITORS COMMENTS
The Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, a prominent gothic architectural masterpiece, stands proudly in the heart of Old Town Square in Prague, Czech Republic. Dating back to the 14th century, this magnificent church has been a significant part of the city's rich history and cultural heritage. The twin spires of the church, reaching towards the sky, have become an iconic symbol of Prague's Old Town. The Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, also known as the Tyn Church, was built between 1365 and 1385. Its intricate gothic architecture is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic skills of the time. The church's most striking feature is its twin spires, each adorned with a golden statue of the infant Jesus and the Virgin Mary. The spires, which are 80 meters high, dominate the Old Town Square and can be seen from various vantage points in the city. The Church of Our Lady Before Tyn has undergone several renovations over the centuries, but its essence remains unchanged. The interior of the church is equally impressive, with its high vaulted ceilings, ornate frescoes, and intricate stained glass windows. The church is also home to several valuable artworks, including a painting of the Last Supper by Master František Platka. The Old Town Square, where the church is located, is a popular tourist destination and a bustling hub of activity. The square is surrounded by colorful baroque buildings, quaint cafes, and souvenir shops. The Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, with its spires reaching towards the heavens, stands as a proud reminder of Prague's rich history and cultural heritage.
