Prague the oldest bulding in the city, Rotunda svatého Kříže Menšího ,Rotunda of the Holy Cross aka Cyril and Methodius orthodox church






The earliest christian buildings in Europe we won't find many at the map, that's why for historician each is very important. Not many early christians buildings are rotunda in unchanged style of architecture. Rotunda of the Holy Cross is one of them, located on the quiet Konviktska street, among the apartments that can be place of rest for tourists, away from the hustle and bustle of the center is a forgotten monument.A small, simple structure with a glass dome with a lantern.This is a typical early christian building style , which existed before the romanesque style of architecture. The closest to the byzantine style of architecture.



Legends says that church is standing on the place where was a lake. On that pond where crucified girl who changed religion at Christianity against the will of her parents. For that she was killed. , as the sign of God, in the night storm ,the cross appeared, which towered over the pond. True or not in legend like always is little history. Durning the renovation of the rothunda, builder really found the cross. The first mention of the building comes from 1365 r, but the building has architectural features much older.Today its a orthodox church of Cyril and Methodius of Russian Orthodox church - Old Believers. This is a variation of Russian Orthodoxy, which can be compared to the Amish, they also live according to certain unchanged principles.
