Architecture sights in Olomouc

  1. A

    St Wenceslas Cathedral

    In the peaceful, pocket-sized Václavské nám, in the northeast corner of the old centre, are the most venerable of Olomouc's historical buildings. Originally a Romanesque basilica, consecrated in 1131, the St Wenceslas Cathedral was rebuilt several times before being thoroughly 'neo-Gothicised' inside and out in the 1880s.

  2. B

    St Mary of the Snows

    The original Jesuit college complex, founded in 1573, stretches along Universitní and into Náměstí Republiky. It includes the baroque church of St Mary of the Snows (kostel Panny Marie Sněžné), which is full of fine frescoes.
