Fodor's Expert Review Peace Square (Mírové Náměstí)

More trapezoid than square, this is Litoměřice's big public gathering space, which also serves as a marketplace and parking lot. The square dates to the Middle Ages, although its current paving—black tiles made of local basalt—was installed in the mid 19th century. One of the square's two fountains was built in 1715, and in the center is a plague column from 1685. Surrounding the square are houses, most from the Middle Ages, in an eye-pleasing array of styles and bright colors. Some of these houses are the country's oldest inhabited dwellings. On the south side of the square is an arcade with a few small shops and restaurants and cafés with outdoor seating. In the southeast corner you'll find the Church of All Saints (Kostel Všech Svatých) and, across the street, the Old City Hall. On the northwestern corner of the square is Czech comedian Felix Holzmann's childhood home, with a small bust of him outside.
