Kostel svatého Jiljí

Fodor's Review:

A powerful example of Gothic architecture, including buttresses and a characteristic portal, is displayed in this church's exterior. Considered an important outpost of Czech Protestantism in the 16th century, the church reflects baroque style inside, with a design by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and sweeping frescoes by Václav Reiner. The interior can be viewed during the day from the vestibule or at the evening concerts held several times a week.
