This was the main marketplace of the city until the beginning of last century. If you come at four in the morning in february or so, and close your eyes, you might still see it.
Fun things to find in Old Town Square: 27 white crosses marking the place where Czech soldiers were publicly beheaded in 1621. The Astronomical Clock, including the name-wheel and hourly puppet show. The Stone Bell Building. The brass line that was the marker for a former sundial, back when prague was the center of the empire and had its own time zone. Trombone man. The Executioner's Pub.
