The famous Old Town Square (Czech: Staroměstské náměstí) is a square in the center of Prague's Old Town.
This oldest and most important square in Prague is surrounded by historical buildings of different architectural styles, such as the Old Town Hall with the world-famous astronomical clock, the Gothic Tyn Church, the Baroque St. Nicholas Church and the rococo palace Golz-Kinsky. In the center rises the monumental monument to the Bohemian reformer Jan Hus. Across the Old Town Square leads the Royal Way, the historical coronation route of the Bohemian kings.
The nickname "Golden City" refers to the sandstone towers, which shimmer in golden tones when the sun shines. Another explanation for this name is that Emperor Charles IV had the towers of Prague Castle gilded.
