Brno - Petrov, Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral

Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic, with around 370,000 residents. The city is dominated by two hills, the Spilberg and the Petrov. On top of the Petrov sits the Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral.

The cathedral was built in the 13th century, and may incorporate some parts of the Roman-era castle that once stood on the hill.

The cathedral was originally built in Gothic style, but was updated to a Baroque style in the 1700's.

Several of these memorials to catholic bishops surround the cathedral. It has been the seat of the Brno bishopric since 1777.

The cathedral's current Neo-Gothic style was fashioned at the turn of the 20th century.
