<nowiki> </nowiki>[[praha|Prague]], the capital of Czech Republic is often called the „City of a Hundred Towers“ and this is no exaggeration because Prague boasts of nearly five hundred towers, large and small. One of most memorable dominates the heart of the city- the Old Town Square. This is the tower of the Old Town Hall, one of the city´s most noteworthy monuments, not only because of its architectural beauty but perhaps even more so because of the famous horolage, the astronomical clock offering an interesting spectacle every hour on the hour.

 

 

<nowiki> </nowiki>In 1338 the councillors of the Old Town bought a magnificent patrician house from the family of Volflin od Kamene and adapted it for their purposes. In the course of the centuries the original building of the Town Hall practically disappeared under the addition of later years and the only external remnat of the original structure today is the Gothic stone portal with mouldings in the western part of the building. The burghers of the Old Town extended their original Town Hall towards the west by buying the adjoining house and started the construction of a mighty square stone tower. The tower- then the highest in the city- was completed in 1364 and the following centuries hardly left any traces on the structure.
