Beautifully decorated top of the old town hall in Olomouc.
"The building of the Olomouc town hall, which dominates the Upper Market Square (Upper Square) is already over six centuries a symbol of the economic and political importance of the former royal capital of Moravia.
Today it is the most important monument of the Olomouc secular architecture and next to the Archbishop's Palace and six ancient churches, it is also the only monument to a public representative or service that serves not its original purpose. To this day, it serves as the seat of the elected city council and their duties.
The construction of the town hall with a merchant's house has been allowed by a privilege in 1378 by the Moravian Margrave Jost of Luxembourg. " - Source: (
