Cathedral of St Barbara, the church of the silver miners

The silver miners of Kutná Hora wanted a church that would rival Prague Cathedral, and they built it on the edge of the town, above the Vrchlice river valley. Outside, a forest of flying buttresses and three stone tents; inside, star vaults and frescoes of miners and coin-makers. You go in with the basic ticket and stay as long as you like, with an audio guide or printed guide; guided tours of the galleries and the roof are booked in advance.

You walk there from Palackého Square along Barborská Street, between the Jesuit College and a row of Baroque statues.
