Bazilika sv. Ludmily

This guide to Bazilika sv. Ludmily in Prague opens with the murder of Ludmila, grandmother of the future Good King Wenceslas, strangled with her own veil at Tetin castle in 921 on orders from her daughter-in-law Drahomira. You'll hear how the boy Wenceslas grew up, seized power, and carried his grandmother's bones into Prague as relics of a saint, and how architect Josef Mocker raised this neo-Gothic church from 1888. It also traces the building's closure for two decades during subway works before its 1992 reopening.
