" After John the Blind - count of Luxembourg and king of Bohemia - 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 seventy meters (230 ft) tall tower was completed in 1364.
As a result of continuous expansions, the town hall now consists of a colorful collection of Gothic and Renaissance-style buildings. During the Second World War the complex was severely damaged when the nazis suppressed the Prague uprising, but it is now thoroughly restored."
