Hello fellow Steemians,
I hope you are all having a great day! :) As usually, I am here with my daily photo challenge where you can submit your personal images from your travels to Prague and other locations in the Czech Republic in the comment section below.
The best 15 entries of the day will get my upvote. I will then pick the absolute winner of the day from these 15 photos. The winning photo will be awarded with a bigger upvote and it will also be featured as the cover image for the challenge post the next day to give the author of the winning shot some more exposure and publicity.
Don’t forget to add a short background story for your entry with at least 30 words and let me just remind you one more time that only personal images will be accepted in the challenge.
There were many great entries submitted in the yesterday Prague/Czech Republic photo challenge and I had a hard time picking the best one. After a deliberate consideration, however, I decided to choose the following entry by @khaan:
St Barbara's is one of the most famous Gothic churches in central Europe and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Construction began in 1388 and completed in 1905.
St Barbara is the patron saint of miners, which is highly appropriate for a town whose wealth was based upon its silver mines. We enjoyed our visit to the church, the outside views are stunning.
I rewarded @khaan entry with some extra upvote. Feel free to visit his blog and check out some of his other entries.
Thank you for your submissions. Have a great day and keep on Steeming!

The Vrtba Garden
Superb garden very well maintained on several levels. The entrance is not visible from the street, you have to cross a small alley. Relaxing and cool place. The walk is nice. You have to climb to the belvedere which offers a magnificent view of the city and Prague Castle in particular. Very nice pictures to do.
Seat of the municipal authority of the town of Hodonin, the birthplace of the very first Czechoslovakian president T.G. Masaryk. Home to some 25,000 people, Hodonin is located about 50 km southeast of Brno, the second largest city of the Czech Republic.
Svatý Jan pod Skalou is a village in the Central Bohemian Region, Beroun district, about 30 km southwest of Prague and less than 5 km east of Beroun. It is located in the heart of the Bohemian Karst Protected Landscape Area and, together with Karlštejn and ancient Tetín, is one of the most interesting tourist districts of the district. 173 people live here.
Shopping park Letmo is located against Main railway station Brno. It replaced building which was damaged by fire thirty years ago. That time two firemen lost their lives there. The Café Letmo, where you can look through the hole, is very popular.
Church of St.Gothard, Bubeneč, Prague (from 1922)
There was a Romanesque church. Which was rebuilt first Gothic, then Baroque. But capacity was not enough. In 1801 the original church was demolished and built in the Classical style. The Baroque statue of Jan Nepomucký in the cemetery wall survived.
St. Barbara cathedral was stunning. The buttresses stand so strong to hold up this amazing cathedral. Their beauty from outside as well as views of them from the upper level were impressive. The stained glass murals were stunning to stand and soak in their beauty as well.
From Prague to the south, about 3 hours including restroom. Cesky Krumlov, said to be the most beautiful city in the world, was a pretty medieval town in Europe that deserved to be a World Heritage Site. Of course the view of the city from the observation deck of Cesky Krumlov castle that I visited first is wonderful. After that, I visited the world from the top of the bridge over the Vltava River, and in the narrow streets, I tasted a lot of world heritage medieval towns. It was good to stay at a small and pretty hotel in that town. It was because I could take a walk around the city after dinner and watch the city early in the morning.
The Petrin Tower is on the West side of the River Vlatava and overlooks Prague from a great height. The petrin tower about 60 meters high, very similar to the miniature eiffel tower, was built in the nineteenth century. The access staircase is very particular, similar to that of the well of San patrizio di Orvieto.
The church is very small, but it is stopping to think that all the bones present are correct. Invite reflection. During the visit, excavations were also made around the Church, which have found more bones. It is difficult to estimate the price-quality ratio because your visit was part of a city tour. If you are visiting here, you should book some time and explore other attractions in Kutna Hora.
St. Barbara's Church
I’m not a catholic but this place blew my mind a way
Every little thing is so detailed. The church is a massive structure closer to the Italian Court. Many statues , glass paintings and carving. It’s a great place to go And if you go to Czech don’t miss Kutna Hora. It’s another beautiful city.
