The New Town (Czech: Nové město) is a quarter in the city of Prague in the Czech Republic. It was founded in the 14th century by Charles IV and neighbours the Old Town to the north. Its most famous landmark is Wenceslas Square, which was originally built as a horsemarket and now functions as a center of commerce and tourism. In the 15th century, the Nové Město Radnice, or New Town Hall, was the site of the first of the three defenestrations of Prague.
