Description

I dedicate this collage of two photos of the Old Town Square in Prague to René (renecyberdoc), so he doesn't think we don't love him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RENE'!!! The Old Town Square (Staromestske Namesti) is one of two main squares ((the other is Wenceslas Square) in the city centre of Prague. Dating back to the late 12th century, the Old Town Square started life as the central marketplace for Prague. Over the next few centuries, many buildings of Romanesque, Baroque and Gothic styles were erected around the market. The Old Town Square's most notable sights are the Church of Our Lady before Tyn (on the left), the Old Town Hall Tower and Astronomical Clock (on the right) and the St. Nicholas Church (from whose steps I was taking the shots, so you can't see it). At the centre of the Old Town Square is the Jan Hus statue, you can see behind the giant Easter egg made with ribbons and forsythia flowers. The monument was erected in 1915 to mark the 500th anniversary of the religious reformer's death at the stake. When I took the photos it has just poured rain. Thanks for your kind comments.

Fantastic capture seems so understated! This has always been an area I've wanted to see. Prauge is one of the only cities untouched by WWII and so there is a rich architectural history.
