Rising like a stone hymn in the heart of Kutná Hora, a town in Czechia, the Cathedral of St Barbara is an example of medieval grandeur. The cathedral was dedicated to St Barbara, the patron saint of miners—an enduring symbol for a community whose lifeblood was silver. The miners themselves played a key role in building the cathedral that still bears her name.
