The historic center of the city stretches on both banks of Vltava River and is connected by the Charles Bridge of the 14th century. On one side of the river is the Old Town with its famous Astronomical Clock, the lively New Town with Wenceslas Square and the Jewish Quarter built in the 13th century. On the other side is the picturesque Lesser Town with its old burgess houses and the Church of St. Nicholas, as well as Hradcany Castle with Prague Castle, the largest ancient castle in the world. Outside this area is a thriving, cosmopolitan city with many riverside parks, lively beer gardens, museums and art galleries.
