The Statue of Saint George in front of St. Vitus Cathedral shows the saint heroically slaying a dragon, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. It was cast in 1373 by Martin and Georg of Cluj, making it one of the oldest bronze equestrian statues in Central Europe. The statue was likely commissioned during the reign of Charles IV or his son Wenceslas IV. Originally placed at Karlštejn Castle, it was later moved to Prague Castle. Today, it stands as a symbol of Christian courage and Czech medieval heritage, enhancing the historic atmosphere of the cathedral’s courtyard.
