Nove Mesto or the New City of Prague, relative to our 21st century is no longer young! This historic district of the Czech capital was founded in the 14th century by order of King Charles IV.

We will see the church of St. Martin in the wall on the border of the Old and New Town. Do not ignore the modern art, admiring the rotating sculpture of the head of Franz Kafka.
During a sightseeing tour of Charles Square we will see the New Town Hall, whose Renaissance vaults are on Gothic foundations, the house of the famous magician Faust is located not far away. Going down to the embankment, we will look into the Orthodox Cathedral of Saints Cyril and Methodius, and learn about the history of Czech patriots who fell at its walls during the Second World War. +
