A very beautiful town hall with an equally beautiful view from the roof.
The Old Town Hall is the dominant square, the main architectural complex of Old Prague. There is an observation deck on its tower. The Old Town Hall was founded by decree of Jan of Luxembourg in 1338. For the city government, they bought a stone corner mansion built at the end of the XIII century, owned by the merchant Wolf Kamena (Wölflinów dówm). The first meeting room was opened there (today it is a Small Hall). The entrance portal of the house dates back to the XV century, and its massive wooden door with lions was made in 1652.
In 1360, a second house was built on the west side, the house of the merchant Jan Krzyzh (D?M kramáře Kříže). Wedding ceremonies have been held in its Gothic hall with a coffered ceiling since 1871. The house is decorated with a triple Renaissance window, above which the motto "Prague is the head of the kingdom" is inscribed; there are 19 heraldic symbols on the facade.
The rectangular tower with a height of 69.5 m was erected in 1364 under the leadership of Peter Parlerzh.

Of course, one admires architecture, history, it's beautiful, what can I say. No wonder it attracts people. The square is crowded.
And of course the atmosphere
But you need to feel it on the spot.
