St. Giles Church

About

St. Giles Church, located in Prague, has a remarkable history from the 12th century. The three-aisled church was built on a Romanesque church's foundations and was reconstructed numerous times from the 12th to 14th century. In 1625, it was donated to the Dominican order, which continues to serve in the church and adjacent monastery. Notably, the church is a popular venue for classical concerts, offering a wide selection of performances. It's particularly renowned for its unique Baroque-Romantic organ, a remarkable instrument characterized by its sound and size, consisting of 3,500 pipes. This distinctive feature contributes to the unique atmosphere of the concerts held here.
