The Old Town Hall (Staroměstská radnice) is one of the oldest and most significant historical buildings in Brno. Its history dates back to the 13th century when it served as the administrative center of the city. The town hall is known for its Gothic portal from the 15th century, which is adorned with rich sculptural elements, including the famous "dragon" and wheel.
