St. George’s Church: Prague’s Ancient Sanctuary of Saints and Specters

The red-and-white façade of the structure adds a Baroque touch to the building, which makes it more visually appealing, but it also masks the ages old secrets as well as the legends that are hidden inside its walls. Currently located in the grounds of Prague Castle, it still has features that highlight its old history, such as the St. Julian windows still incorporated in the church.
