Czech Republic: St. Bartholomew's Cathedral in Plzeň

Today I got a postcard from the Czech Republic.

The card shows the St. Bartholomew's Cathedral in Plzeň. Plzeň is a city in western Bohemia and the fourth largest city of the Czech Republic. It is known for the Pilsner beer and the headquarters of the Škoda Works. Plzeň is the European Capital of Culture in 2015 together with Mons in Belgium. The St. Bartholomew's Cathedral has the tallest spire in the Czech Republic and is the third highest building in the Czech Republic. Since 1993 is the St. Bartholomew's Cathedral the cathedral of the Diocese of Plzeň.


With a nice matching stamp:
Plzeň - European Capital of Culture (issued 18-02-2015)


Thank You very much Veronika!
