Photo Tour of Old Town Prague

By Kerry Kubilius, About.com Guide

From Old Town Hall you can get one of the best views of Prague. Since the middle of the 14th century, Old Town Hall has watched over Old Town Square - even escaping destruction by the German army during 1945. Boasting a clock, typical Gothic elements, and an ornate entry, Old Town hall is one of Prague's oldies but goodies.

Gather around the Town Hall for the striking of the hour to watch the clock's display of figures, or climb the tower to get bird's-eye views of the square.
