A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PRAGUE

The beautifully decorated Byzantine style Orthodox Church of St. Peter and Paul was built in the then emerging elite residential area of the Westend in 1893-1898. The building was modelled on the Byzantine-old Russian church near Moscow. The richly decorated church in the shape of a Greek cross is topped by five gold-plated domes. The walls of the Church are decorated by rich ornamental sculptures and figurative paintings. The church’s inner furnishings consist of rich majolica wooden iconostasis with oil icons.
