No.1799, Praha - Staromestská radnice, CZ - Tourist Stamps Photos on Waymarking.com

[EN]
Prague's old Town Hall was built in 1364. The astronomical clock in the town hall's tower is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. Originally the building served only as the city hall of the old town, but later became the city hall for all of Prague. It is now only used for ceremonial functions.

After King John of Luxembourg accorded the citizens of Prague the privilege of having their own district council in 1338, they decided to build a Town Hall, paid for by a duty levied on wine. The almost 70 meters high tower was completed in 1364. Due to continuous expansions, the building now is a colorful collection of gothic and renaissance-style façades. During the 2nd World War, the building was severely damaged when the nazis suppressed the Prague uprising, but it is now thoroughly restored.

A magnificent late gothic door in the house adjacent to the tower serves as the main entrance to the Old Town Hall.
The first clock of the Town Hall dates back to the beginning of the 15th century. Clock maker Hanuš, who perfected the construction in 1490 was - according to the legend - made blind by the city council to prevent him from making a more beautiful clock elsewhere.

Staromestská radnice v Praze byla založena roku 1338 na základe privilegia udeleného staromestským meštanum králem Janem Lucemburským. Dominantou radnice je mohutná hranolovitá vež, zvýšená v roce 1364. Radnice prošla radou rekonstrukcí a rozširování. Budova byla vážne ponicena na konci 2. svetové války.
Dominantami radnice jsou pozdne gotické dvere a orloj, který zbudoval mistr Hanuš, který byl dle legendy po zhotovení orloje oslepen.
