A
Old Town Hall
One of the most charming buildings in Bohemia is Plzeň's Old Town Hall. The bottom four floors, built in 1558, are pure Italian Renaissance. A few years later the top floor, tower, multiple gables and little brass flags were added; all it needs is a liveried ensemble doing trumpet fanfares from the roof. The sgraffito on the front dates from the 16th century. There is also a model of the old city centre here. In front is a 1681 plague column.

Chotešov House
Plzeň is less plastered with baroque façades than many Bohemian towns. The best Renaissance structures in the old centre are in and around the square. Check out Chotešov House and, around the corner, the delightful old Gerlach house.
