PRAGUE
The national museum in Prague. We couldn't get in the one day as the set of cameras/production eqpt. were all on site for filming. We later found out it was for the 'Casino Royale' movie...which used the bldg. as one of their many backdrops. .JPEG)

Founded in 1338, St Barbara's Cathedral is a showpiece to the former wealth of Kutna Hora. An extravagantly decorated interior has unusual frescoes featuring mining and minting. Added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1995. One of the highlights of the cathedral is the mural of the Vision of St Ignatius. .JPEG)

The medieval town of Kutná Hora is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site which gained huge wealth thanks to its prosperous silver mines, and became the second most important town in the Kingdom of Bohemia, after Prague. A uniquely amazing sight is the baroque ossuary in nearby Sedlec, decorated with the bones of some 40,000 people. The decorations even include a human bone chandelier.
