The impressive western part of St Vitus Cathedral (Prague Castle) holds the official main entrance to the gothic church. It is characterized by two 82 m high towers and a huge - diameter 10.4 meters - Rose Window, designed by František Kysela who was inspired by old gothic windows in famous cathedrals in Paris. The stained glass window portrays scenes from different days in the biblical creation of the world.
The Art Nouveau stone rose window is rather new, dating from the 1920s. It is as beautiful and impressive from inside the cathedral as it is from the outside. Depending on the viewer's individual taste the Rosette Window is maybe the most beautiful example of stained glass craft in Prague

This Rose Window was created by the time of St Wenceslas jubilee in 1929, the St Vitus cathedral was finally finished, 600 years after it was begun. And the famous Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha decorated the new windows in the north part of nave. The impressive symbiosis of Gothic and Art Nouveau!!! It's a very correct camera angle! Vote!
