Old Town Square is a maze of narrow, cobbled streets located between the Vltava River and the Wenceslas Square. It is a popular tourist attraction and many visitors see this area every year.

It was built in the 12th century as a central marketplace. Since then, the Old Town Square has been used for many minor and important events, entertainment and trading.

In the center of the square is a huge statue of a reformer named Jan Hus. The statue was built on July 6, 1915 on the 500th anniversary of the man’s death. Originally there was protest that the statue was built because it was this man’s beliefs that eventually led to the Hussite Wars during the 14th and 15th centuries.

Other notable places to visit in the Square include:

Nowadays the Square is a popular space for large public gatherings, political speeches and festivities like Christmas celebrations. There are plenty of quaint outdoor cafes and exquisite gothic architecture to enjoy.
