The Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew dominates the city center of Pilsen in the Czech Republic.

The construction of the Gothic style building, located on the main square, started in 1295 and was finished by the beginning of 16th century.

The building is 58m long, 30m wide and the spires are 25m high. The tall spire is 102.6m high, being the highest in the Czech Republic, and also the third tallest building in the Czech Republic (tallest buildings in the Czech Republic) (until 1981).

In 1993, when Pope John Paul II erected the Diocese of Plzen, the church of St. Bartholomew was consecrated as the cathedral of the new diocese.

The building is a state-protected cultural monument and is open to the public.
