It is a town hall.<br /><br />"The Jewish town hall (Zidovska Radnice) was built among 1570 and 1577 by the mayor Mordechai Maisel. In 1763 the facade was modified in a Baroque style. On the roof there is a wooden tower with the clock and a green steeple. The permission to build the tower was granted to the Jewish community as recognition to have participated to the defense of the Charles Bridge against the Swedes. In the eardrum you can see a clock with the Jewish figures and the hands that turn counterclockwise in sense.
