Prague: Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral, a favourite feature of postcards from the Czech capital, is next year set to inaugurate a long-awaited organ that befits its Gothic splendour.
Located at Prague Castle in the city's UNESCO-listed historic centre, the landmark cathedral, whose construction spanned from 1344-1929, has already housed a dozen organs.
But the last one, installed in 1931, proved inadequate for the acoustics of the majestic cathedral, which drew 2.6 million visitors in 2024.

"It was originally meant to be the largest instrument in the world, but as so often with big plans, it didn't happen," organologist Stepan Svoboda told AFP.
