inside of St. Barbara’s church in Kutná Hora.
This Cathedral seems way too large for small Kutna Hora. Building began in the 14th C when the town rose in prominence due to the silver mining industry. The King established the Royal Mint in the town and it soon became one of the wealthiest towns in Europe. If you look at the walls and windows in the church you will see references to the mining industry everywhere. Ancient frescos show coins being made and silver hammered out. The unique triple spire of the church appears in one of the stained glass windows.
