Sunday Church Phot-o' the Day: Church of Our Lady before Týn; Prague, Czech Republic


This is the iconic Church of Our Lady before Týn in Prague, or, if you prefer your Czech churches referenced in their Czech name, Chrám Matky Boží před Týnem. Let's stick with English.

This is the view from high atop the Old Town Hall in Old Town Prague. I believe this is the Old Town Hall because it is the Old "Town Hall," not the "Old Town" Hall, even though it is indeed in Old Town. It's on Old Town Square. Just to confuse things, I think it is "Old Town Square" because it is the "Old Town" "Square," in other words, the main square of Old Town Prague, and not the old "Town Square," with a new and improved town square nearby.

This is from my October 2011 visit to Prague.
