Description

Kutná Hora is a city in Bohemia, now the Czech Republic in the Central Bohemian Region.The town began in 1142 with the settlement of the first Cistercian Monastery in Bohemia. The earliest traces of silver have been found dating back to the 10th century, when Bohemia already was in the crossroads of long-distance trade for many centuries. From the 13th to 16th centuries the city competed with Prague economically, culturally and politically. Among the most important buildings in the area are the Gothic, five-naved St. Barbara's Church.St Barbara is the patron saint of miners (among others), which was highly appropriate for a town whose wealth was based entirely upon its silver mines. Construction began in 1388, but because work on the church was interrupted several times, it was not completed until 1905. I tried to give you a particular POV to catch the special effect of the sky over the church, and added a bit of postwork to enhance it. Thank you for your kind comments.
