Gothic church on Old Town Square, built mostly in the 14th and 15th centuries, with two towers of about 80 metres that dominate the skyline of the historic centre. It was the religious centre of the Hussites in the 15th century. Inside lies buried the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, who died in Prague in 1601. The towers, crowned with spires, are one of the most recognisable images of the city.
