Bazilika sv. Petra a Pavla
The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Prague at Vyšehrad is an important religious and cultural monument - a collegiate chapter was founded at the time of the church's foundation in 1070. The church, originally an early Romanesque basilica, has been rebuilt repeatedly throughout history, distinctly Gothic in the time of Charles IV and high Baroque in the early 18th century. Today's appearance is the result of a radical neo-Gothic reconstruction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since 2003 the chapter church has the title of Basilica Minor.
The church is part of the Vyšehrad complex, which has been protected as a national cultural monument since 1962. The Vyšehrad cemetery near the church was converted into a national burial ground in the 19th century.
