Although small, this 11th century romanesque church is really worth visiting, especially because It's now open to the public for a small fee (about 1€)

The Rotunda of St. Martin (Czech Rotunda svatého Martina ) is located on the Vyšehrad Fortress in Prague . It is the only architectural monument of Vyšehrad that has been preserved in its original form and the oldest preserved rotunda in the city. The Romanesque rotunda was probably built in the last third of the 11th century under Vratislav II , but the building was first mentioned in writing in 1396. [1] The central building has a semicircular apse decorated with pilaster strips . After the construction of the baroque Vyšehrad fortress, the church was profaned and served as a powder magazine. At the instigation of Karl Chotek von Chotkow, a planned demolition could be prevented. After 1875 the rotunda was renovated and restored to its original state, but the entrance on the west side was walled up and replaced by a neo-Romanesque portal on the south. The marble altar and the paintings on the inner walls, which take up motifs from the Vyšehrad Coronation Codex (end of the 11th century), also date from this period. [2]
