You're standing on Malostranské náměstí, the main square of Prague's Lesser Town, and right in front of you is the Church of Saint Nicholas. Look up at that huge green copper dome. It rises more than seventy metres above the square and you can spot it from all over the neighbourhood. Next to it stands the bell tower, even a little taller at seventy-nine metres. This church is often called the finest example of Prague Baroque.
