The Old Town Hall is one of the most beautiful monuments of the historical centre of Prague and was founded by permission of the Czech King John of Luxembourg in 1338.
It was built by gradually buying up individual townhouses and joining them into a single unit. Today it consists of five historic houses that bear elements of almost all styles.
Currently, the Old Town Hall is used for the ceremonial purposes of the Mayor of Prague, who receives the most important visitors to the city here.
