Zikmund, the largest bell in the Saint. Vitus Cathedral and in central Europe, sits below three other equally grand 16th century bells, all of which were created after a fire destroyed previous ones. The bells ring most often on Sunday mornings. In a tower chamber above Zikmund, the tower's the three other bells are located: John the Baptist, Vaclav & Joseph.
