Prague for the New Year’s


Outside the city

Sedlec Ossuary/Bone Church - from the outside it looks normal.  Surrounding cemetery, bell tower... though an unusual weather vane... When you step inside, you realize the 14th century church is not like the others. 


Some inside construction
What has been preserved




Not far down the road is St Barbara's Cathedral. I enjoyed the statues.

Astronomical clock from 1410
