Charles Square (Karlovo náměstí)
 Karlovo
náměstí is Prague's largest square, with Ječná street running
through the middle of it. The square was originally built
as the Cattle Market. Its two most
notable
buildings
are the New
Town Hall (Novoměstská radnice) where Prague's
first defenestration took place in 1419, and the Baroque
Jesuit Church of Saint Ignatius from
1671. The 16th century Faust's
House stands
near the southwest corner of the square.
To get to Karlovo
náměstí, you can either walk (follow Vodičkova Street from
Wenceslas Square or Spálená Street from Národní třída)
or take line B of the metro or tram 3, 4, 6, 10, 14,
16, 18, 22 or 24 to Karlovo
náměstí.
