You step out of Prague’s rhythm onto a quieter street in Kutná Hora, where cobbles slope toward a skyline of spires and the air smells faintly of centuries-old lime mortar. The guide leads you past carved facades and into the small town’s big stories: a Gothic cathedral that reaches for the sky, an Italian Court that once coined wealth from silver, and a chapel where human bones have been rearranged into a startling form of ecclesiastical art.
