A few pictures from Prague

The Spanish Synagogue - incredibly beautiful.  In the Jewish Quarter of Prague.

Detail of Spanish Synagogue.

At the Old-New Synagogue, which was built in 1270.  It is the oldest Syanagogue in Eastern Europe (and possibly all of Europe).
Old Town Square and Tyn Church.

St Vitus Cathedral, surrounded by the Prague Castle.

Wenceslas Chapel in St. Vitus.  The walls are made of precious stone.

The stained glass in this cathedral was especially stunning, and my camera cannot do it justice.

Nice window, but also check out the ceiling!

One outside view of the St. Vitus Cathedral.

View from the castle.  Note the communist TV tower in the background.  The green dome is at the Church of St. Nicholas - where I later climbed the belltower.

Strahovsky Library, at an old monastery (near the castle).  

Picture of the Charles Bridge, from the belltower at the Church of St. Nicholas.

Random building in Prague.  This is how fancy random building are - people probably live here.  Perhaps insurance is sold of out it.

The church shown here isn't anything special - just the random small church you find throughout the city that isn't in the guidebooks.  Check out the fancy-looking building on the right: again, some random un-notable building.
