Municipal House

Sights from the beautiful Municipal House and the main square in Stare Mesto.
The Medieval Tower next to the Municipal
House













Smetana Hall, the great concert hall in the Municipal House








Entry oramentation for the Municipal House







One of the several gorgeous restaurants





Another
















Downstairs, the Czech dining room/beer hall, incredible
paneling








Glass-work like this everywhere








Nearby, towers of the Church of Our Lady of Tyn








The massive statue to Jan Hus, in the main square; Hus was
the earliest of Protestant reformers, burnt at the stake after
his capture (by deceit) and refusal to recant











Rathaus tower and the astronomical clock;
the crowd was wowed, but we've seen better...
