Crown of Saint Wenceslaus

The Crown of Saint Wenceslaus is a historic royal crown that symbolizes the Czech throne. Crafted in the 14th century, it features a golden band and precious gemstones, representing the nation’s sovereignty and heritage. Although called a "crown," it is more a ceremonial piece used during significant state events and royal coronations. It is named after Saint Wenceslaus, the patron saint of the Czech Republic. Today, the crown is displayed in Prague Castle and remains a powerful national symbol, reflecting the country's history, tradition, and cultural identity.
