There are quite many old churches in Prague, but Bethlehem Chapel is unique among them. This is the chapel where, in the early 15th century Jan Hus, the famous Czech theologian raised his word against the corruption of the Catholic Church and called for the reformation of the establishment.

Hus was later labeled as a heretic and  burnt on a stake in 1415. Now he is a martyr of Reformation and a Czech national hero. In the main hall of the chapel you can still see the original floor and the pulpit from where Hus preached.

Prague Travel guide

Often called the City of a Hundred Spires because of its many churches and towers, Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic. Unlike much of central Europe, the city was largely undamaged in World War II (1939-1945) and the cityscape is stunning.
