Church of St. Nicholas (Old Town), Prague

Although a place of worship has existed at this site since the 13th century, the current church standing was conceived in the 18th century by Prague's eminent late Baroque architect, Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. While it may not fully capture the lyrical exuberance of the style, as seen in its namesake across town, the Church of Saint Nicholas in Mala Strana, Dientzenhofer adeptly utilized the limited space to craft a well-proportioned structure, offering respite from the bustling crowds of Old Town.

The exterior showcases curved green rooftops and white columned walls, while the interior, though compact, boasts a magnificent chandelier and a colossal black organ dominating the rear. Afternoon and evening concerts for visitors are regularly held, with leaflets often distributed to passersby. Moreover, the church steps serve as a popular vantage point from which to capture photographs of the Old Town Square itself.
