TOP SIGHTS OF PRAGUE



 

OLD TOWN SQUARE -  for centuries the main market square of Prague with the oldest City Hall. In the centre of the square there is a statue of Czech catholic reformer Jan Hus who was burnt for his faith in 1415. Two beautiful churches decorate  the square, a white and protestant Nicholas and  a dark and catholic Virgin Mary before Tyn. The dominant part of the square is the City Hall from 1380´s with the Astronomical clock that shows four different times and  has a play of twelve wooden apostles who turn around every hour.
