A
St Bartholomew church
The most notable building in náměstí Republiky, is the hub of the city's lively and attractive old town. It is particularly notable for the gigantic Gothic St Bartholomew church, which towers over the surrounding façades from the centre of the square. Have a look inside at the delicate marble 'Pilsen Madonna' (dating from about 1390) on the main altar, or climb 301 steps to the top of the tower for serious views.
