Tyn Church at Old Town Square in Prague, Czechia. #212238592
Description
The Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, dominates one side of the Old Town Square. The twin towers of this Gothic church with a Baroque interior can be seen from all over Prague.Although the origins of Tyn Church date back much further, the present high-Gothic structure was founded in 1385 as the main Old Town church.The towers are around 80m high. But stand in the Old Town Square, and it becomes evident they are not symmetrical. One, Adam, is larger than the other, Eve. This representation of the masculine and feminine sides of the world is characteristic of Gothic architecture of the period.
