		Saint Vitus Cathedral (Czech: Katedrála svatého Víta) is a cathedral in Prague, Czech Republic, and the seat of the Archbishop of Prague.
		This patron saint was chosen because Wenceslaus had acquired a holy relic — the arm of St. Vitus — from Emperor Henry I. It is also possible that Wenceslaus, wanting to convert his subjects to Christianity more easily, chose a saint whose name sounds very much like the name of Slavic solar deity Svantevit.
		Work on the cathedral, however, proceeded rather slowly, due to the fact that in the meantime the Emperor commissioned Parler with many other projects, such as the construction of the new Charles bridge in Prague and many churches throughout the Czech realm.

		St Vitus Cathedral is situated in the third courtyard of Prague Castle and takes up so much of the space that it's hard to get an overall impression of this chaotic Gothic edifice.
		The cathedral has had a long and chequered history, for although the foundation stone was laid in 1344, the cathedral was not completed until 1929.
		The inspiration for the medieval cathedral came from Charles IV, who, while still only heir to the throne, had not only wangled an independent archbishopric for Prague, but had also managed to gather together the relics of Saint Vitus.
