Its robust dome & thin bell-tower are inseparable part of d prague castle skyline, it is one of d most-sought after prague churches. It belongs among d leading baroque constructions in Europe & is usually defined as being d most beautiful building of Czech baroque. It was built at a time when prague was in d process of undergoing prominent changes, when during d 2nd half of then 17th century d existing Renaissance style was replced by baroque, a style representing political & social changes having arisen after Battle of Bila Hora (white mountain) in 1620 - recatholisation & consolidation of absolutist ruler power (copy directly fr brochure :p)

petrin tower! i gona get to d top!
It was built as a small copy of Eiffel tower. Although it is only 60m tall, bt petrin hill is way above sea level. Therefore, it is situated at d same level as in paris. It has 299 stairs & gives beautiful view of prague..
