Also known as Premsyl Otakar II Square, or simply the Old Town Square in English, this is the old town square of Ceske Budejovice. The tower in the background is the so called "black tower," or "Cerna Vez," I think it translates into Czech, built in the 16th Century. The fountain, Samson's Fountain, is of similar vintage to the old town hall being built in 1721-1726.
