Prague Old Town Square

In the square is a large art nouveau statue of a Jan Hus, a Czech priest who had been burnt at the stake for heresy against the doctorines of the Catholic Church. He is considered to be the first of the church reformers, another being Dr Martin Luther whose home town we had visited in Wittenberg.

Behind this statue DH was overjoyed to see a building which had firemen on the top of the main facade.

The twin gothic spires of the Church of our Lady before Tyn can be seen from the square.

Special horse shoes for the horses to walk on the cobblestones

DH in the Old Market Square. St Nicholas Church in the background.

Medieval Old Town Hall clock tower, the 600 year old Astronomical Clock is on the left side of the building. Crowds of tourists gather to watch and hear the clock strike the hour, it is a must to get there early.

I just couldn't resist.

View to the Powder Gate. It had been built as a ceremonial enterance to the city, but never completed until 300 years later.
