The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul is Brno's most recognizable landmark, rising dramatically from Petrov Hill. Its neo-Gothic spires, added in the early 20th century, dominate the skyline. Inside, the cathedral features a Baroque main altar, intricate stained glass, and a crypt with Romanesque foundations. A unique local tradition: the bells ring at 11 a.m. instead of noon, commemorating a 17th-century siege when the city was saved by an early midday chime. Visitors can climb the tower for close-up views of the spires and a sweeping panorama of Brno.
