Photographer’s Note

The tallest building in central Olomouc, the southern tower has 100.65 metres, located on little but nice Václavské Square (the same name as the best known square in Prague). The construction began before 1107, after the fire in 1204 rebuilded in gothic style. In the year 1469 the Matthias Corvinus was crownded King of Bohemia here.

On the left side of the picture there is small Chapel of Saint Anna, built in 13th Century as Chapel of Saint Vitus, rebuilded between 1306 and 1349 to shrine with the arm of Saint Anna (people collect strange things but it's a shrine).
