Tower On St. Bartholomew's Cathedral, Plzen, Bohemia(CZ), 2007

Tower On St. Bartholomew's Cathedral, Plzen, Bohemia(CZ), 2007
This is St. Bartholomew's Cathedral in Plzen, built roughly between the years 1295-1500. It's still in good shape, and has the highest spire in the Czech Republic, at 102.3 meters. The building overall is the third tallest in the Czech Republic, and until 1981 it was the very tallest. Now the tallest, if I'm not mistaken, is the Zizkov TV tower in Prague at 213 meters, but to put things in perspective, the observation tower on the TV tower is only 100 meters off the ground.....wow. This cathedral is therefore immense, far larger than it even looks!
