Lonely Planet review for Orthodox Cathedral Of Ss Cyril & Methodius

In 1942 seven Czech partisans involved in assassinating Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich took refuge from the Nazis in this church. It's incredibly moving to visit the wreath-bedecked crypt where they resisted attempts to smoke and flood them out and then were either killed or took their own lives. Among multilingual explanations and bullet and shrapnel holes, you can see the Czechs' last desperate efforts to dig an escape route.
