Charles Square is a city square in the New Town of Prague, Czech Republic. It is one of the largest squares in the world and very likely the largest medieval square in Europe. Founded in 1348 as the main square of the New Town by Charles IV, it was known as Dobytcí trh (Cattle market) from the 15th century and finally named after its founder in 1848. The central portion of the square was turned into a park in the 1860s.
You can find this tree in the midle part of this square.
