'Encouraging readers to go beyond the famous and obvious--if still impressive--churches and cathedrals listed in standard tourist guides, this captivating photographic guide explores the secret locations hidden away in gardens, deserted alleys, and the peripheries of Prague's busy streets. The book does not aspire to be an academic discourse on the Czech capital's houses of worship, nor is it an encyclopedic listing of "must-see" locations; it is, rather, a celebration of the churches, chapels, temples, rotundas, and synagogues that serve as a unique testament to Prague's centuries of fascinating history, art, culture, and spiritual life. The guide offers architecture admirers and travelers alike a fascinating and unique view of the city.' Photo credits.. New .
