Prague, Czech - St. George Basilica (Bazilika Sv. Jiri)

St. George Basilica is the second oldest church in Prague.  The facade on this side was created in an early Baroque style.  It is huge inside and fairly empty.  Articles recommend attending a concert here because the emptiness has great acoustics.









We also had a nice view of the buttresses of the St. Vitas Cathedral.
 Here are a few close-up views so that the details can be seen.






The tour continues past the Maria Theresa Pavillion.


Camera put aside and I dash to catch up with the rest of the group.

St. John's, Newfoundland - Basilica of St. John the Baptist

The Basilica...















A fellow passenger stopped me and asked if I had seen this statue at the local church.  He was stunned by its beauty.  I am sorry that I missed it.  This is all carved in stone.  Amazing.
