St Martin's Rotunda

09 May 2010 164
Thanks to SkeletalMess for the Book Cover 5 texture... :-) Romanesque St. Martin’s Rotunda is the oldest building not only in Vysehrad but also in Prague. It was built around 1100. It is also the only undamaged monument from times of Vratislav I. During recent architectural researches it’s been discovered that it actually contains a secret underground floor that nobody knew of for centuries. Its interior was modified in the 19th century by architect A. Baum. Clerics of Vysehrad reopened it in 1878.
