First of all let me say that I don't understand the naming of this puzzle?!? Is it some kind of English metaphor? I don't know, I don't understand... It's a gateway to Prague Castle with two larger-than-life statues. And for the record... there's no church in sight.
Prague Castle is horizontally divided into three courtyards. For security reasons, the former main entrance, the Wrestling Titans gate, is now only for the exit from the castle. Entrance to the castle grounds is possible through the nearby side entrance, or from the other side of the castle, which is easily accessible by tram. Author of Wrestling Titans is a Prague sculptor Ignác Platzer. Platzer created the sculptures based on Mattielli's sculpture in front of the Reich Chancellery in Vienna.
Prague Castle is the ancient castle occupying an area of almost 70,000 square metres (750,000 square feet). It is the official office of the President of the Czech Republic. The castle was a seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept within a hidden room inside it.
