The article “Top Sights in Prague” discusses the historic, religious, and artful architecture and other sights in Prague. It is a great example of how the holy and profane can mix in a city, join together to increase the beauty of the city, and separately be beautiful. Wenceslas Square is an example of a mixture of profane and holy. The site is named after Saint Wenceslas, which gives the site a holy existence. The site has also been the site of protests, and today is one of the busiest parts of the country. This gives the site a profane existence. Saint Virtus Cathedral is part of Prague Castle. The cathedral has been used to crown many kings. This shows that it also has a holy and profane existence. Old Town Square contains Saint Nicholas Church and is the site where Jan Hus, a Catholic priest was burned at the stake.
