Olomouc. Main Square

This webcam is located in the very center of the city of Olomouc, on one of its spacious squares called Horní náměstí (The Upper Square).

The Plague Column seen on the right hand is also known as the Holy Trinity Column, which is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The column is 35 meters high and was erected in the early years of the 18th century. Today it is the most outstanding example of a type of monument specific to all central Europe.

The building of the City Hall is on the left side. It is decorated with astronomical clock.

Olomouc is a very interesting city with numerous monuments and more than rich history. It is as well known to be a city of students (their density here is higher than any other place in Central Europe) thanks to the Palacký University of Olomouc, which also is located there.
