It was built in the 14th century and expanded in the 15th century. The most valuable interior monuments are the Gothic Council Hall with its beautiful vaulted ceiling and St. Jerome’s Chapel, equipped with seven valuable paintings.
On the 76-meter tower of the City Hall, since the 15th century, there is an astronomical clock (orloj) with moving figures, and stroking chimes. The appearance of the clock has changed many times, its current image was created in 1955, after the reconstruction of the clock, destroyed during World War II, and presents a Socialist Realist style. It features scenes from the life and work of residents of the Hany region.
The clock is another symbol of Olomouc. In front of the clock is a bronze model of the entire Old Town.
