The Jan Hus Memorial on the square. Jan Hus was the Czech equivalent of Martin Luther. He is virtually unknown in the West. 
How did this magnificentbaroque church end up with these buildings
in front of it?
Churchgoers must pass through a passageway
to get inside the church.
I attended one Sunday because I simplycould not resist the beautiful ringing bells.
One of a million examples of Czechcraftsmen's attention to detail.
I love this tilework!
No people yet. Only peace, quiet, and snow.

Wow I've never seen Old Town Square that empty. You must have been up early :)
Hi Karen,
These are great pictures! What did the inside of the church look like? I don't think I've been in there yet!
Hi Karen, I have tagged you here in this post: http://prague.today.com/2009/02/10/seven-things-and-a-why/
This inside of the church is gorgeous and full of bling like all Czech baroque churches! It's magnificent. Of course, I forgot that I wouldn't understand a word they were saying....
Michael, I love to go on early Sunday morning walks throughout Old Town when no one is about. I can poke my nose into all sorts of corners.
Oh WOW! I really should convince Michael for us to go see Old Town Square early in the morning when I'm next in Prague!
The Church of Our Lady before Týn is gothic. Its mobiliary is baroque.
