　　This tower, part of the city's original fortifications dating back to the 15th century, is home to a small exhibition of historical weapons and body armour. If it's closed, ask at the handicrafts shop on the ground floor and they can let you in. ...

Náměstí Přemysla Otakara II

　　The attractive arcaded buildings grouped around Samson's Fountain (Samsonova kašna; 1727) constitute the biggest town square in the country, 133m on each side.
