Roskilde Cathedral in the city of Roskilde on the Island of Zealand in eastern Denmark, was the first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick and its construction encouraged the spread of this Brick Gothic style throughout Northern Europe. It was built during the 12th and 13th centuries, and incorporates both Gothic and Romanesque architectural features in its design. It was the only cathedral in Zealand until the 20th century. The cathedral’s twin spires dominate the skyline of the town. Roskilde Cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs since the 15th century. As such, it has been significantly extended and altered over time as individual rulers have added multiple burial chapels. Following the Reformation in 1536, the Bishop’s residence was moved to Copenhagen, and he from then on held the title Bishop of Zealand. Royal coronations normally took place in Copenhagen’s Church of Our Lady or the chapel of Frederiksborg Palace. It is a major tourist attraction, bringing in over 125,000 visitors annually. Since 1995 the cathedral has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Denmark tourist attractions.

Mala Strana, both meaning in English literally “Little Side”, though more frequently referred to as “Lesser Town”, “Lesser Quarter”, or “Lesser Side”) was originally a popular and nowadays also the official name for “The Lesser Town of Prague”, one of Prague’s historical and oldest boroughs. Its name comes from its position on the left (west) bank of the river Vltava, on the slopes just below the Prague Castle, in opposition to the larger towns of Prague on the right bank, to which it is conjoined by the Charles Bridge. In the Middle Ages, it was a dominant centre of the ethnic German citizens of Prague. It also housed a large number of noble palaces while the right-bank towns were comparatively more bourgeois and more Bohemian Czech. The famous Czech novelist Jan Neruda was born, lived in and wrote about Mala Strana; Nerudova Street is named after him. The Petřín lookout tower is located in Mala Strana. The famous statue of the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague is located in the Church of Our Lady Victorious in Mala Strana, Prague. The devotion and the church drew millions of Roman Catholic faithful to Mala Strana throughout the years. Top vacation destinations.
