Next up is the pristine St. George Basilica Palace - the most ancient building in the Prague Castle, which also happens to be one of the most well preserved churches of the Roman era. Founded by Prince Vratislav in AD 920, the cathedral was expanded in AD 973 when the convent of St. George’s Benedictine was built and rebuilt again in 1142 post a fire. The Baroque façade was added in 1671 to 1691.
