    The Old Town Square is the central square in the center of Prague and a popular meeting place. The place is huge, about 9000 square meters. Here the flaneur will find numerous cafés, street artists and groups of visitors. There is always something going on in this square. Particularly beautiful: the ornate facades of the houses that frame the square.

        In the 11th and 12th centuries German and Jewish merchants and local craftsmen settled under the protection of the two castles, Prague Castle and Vyšehrad, along the Vltava River and the connecting routes. A major reason for this was its location at the crossroads of important trade routes and the existence of a ford across the Vltava and a bridge. Most of the loose settlements already had their own parish and cemetery churches.

        Wenceslaus I (1230–1253) had the largest of these Romanesque settlements on the Vltava bend fortified around 1230/34 and elevated it to the status of a royal town. Prague became the residence of the Czech kings. On the one hand, the city fortifications cut through settlements such as around St. Martin in the Wall (Kostel sv. Martina ve zdi), on the other hand, previously undeveloped areas were included in the wall ring, which were then built on quite quickly.
