Lion gargoyle
St. Vitus Cathedral (full name The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus and Adalbert).
In the 1920s the sculptor Vojtěch Sucharda worked on the façade. By the time of St. Wenceslas jubilee in 1929, the St. Vitus cathedral was finally finished, nearly 600 years after it was begun. Despite the fact that entire western half of Cathedral is a Neo-Gothic addition, much of the design and elements developed by Peter Parler (second architect of the cathedral, 14th century) were used in the restoration, giving the Cathedral as a whole a harmonious, unified look.
