The hill of St Stephen's Cathedral

Litoměřice has been a bishopric since the seventeenth century, and St Stephen's Cathedral crowns Dómský pahorek hill, five minutes from the square: a Baroque church by Domenico Orsi with a quiet square around it and, separately, its tower, which can be climbed in season. From the edge of the hill you see the Elbe and, opposite, the volcanic cones of the Central Bohemian Uplands. It is the other half of the town: the square for life, the hill for silence.
