Náměstí míru - nám. Míru

Nice square and great seating in connection with the local stall with a good Bernard, a warm summer evening and a full moon

Nice small and cozy square in the center of Melnik. Especially at the time of the market here it is very cozy.

Beauty who has not seen will not understand that I am glad that here in the Czech Republic we have something for tourists.

The square is nice and the nearby viewpoint is also worth a visit ..

A square made up of different types of houses with a nice town hall. Cozy, nice businesses to relax.

Having passed through the Prague Gate, the street will lead you to the central square of Melnik, called the “Peace Square” in the era of the socialist past. Small multi-colored old houses, built by a friendly round dance, seem to part and form an irregularly shaped space. Such was the area of ​​the ancient settlement and centuries ago. Narrow arcade galleries stretch almost all along the perimeter, in which you can hide from heavy rain or the scorching sun. Here, on the main square of Melnik, the most solemn events and city holidays are held. This was evidenced by an improvised scene set next to the town hall. In the central part of Peace Square there is a beautiful fountain with the grapevine composition "Grape Harvest". In the summer heat, local kids love to cut around him, dousing each other with water. Among the medieval buildings of the square, represented mainly by the mansions of wealthy citizens, in which now numerous shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels are located, the building of the Capuchin monastery stands out - today it is a museum of local history. The decoration of the square is the city hall, the building of which has been rebuilt more than once and therefore combines Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance styles.

The historical core of the town of Mělník, ie the medieval town within the walls, developed in the area of ​​the original fortified settlement, perhaps called Pšov, whose fortifications have been proven by archeological research since the 9th century. Mělník is first mentioned as a town in a document of King Přemysl Otakar II. of November 25, 1274. The irregular floor plan of the square is given by the boundaries of the original fortified fort. The best-preserved front of houses is the eastern part with a preserved archway and the town hall building. These are houses of mostly Gothic origin, later modified and rebuilt. Extensive Gothic cellars are preserved in them. After all, the entire Mělník square and the adjacent streets are undermined by a tangle of corridors and cellars. These are up to several storeys and were probably used especially in times of threat to the city as a shelter for residents and their property. In peacetime, they served primarily as storage facilities for food and, thanks to convenient conditions, also for storing wine. The square - the market square was the center of every city. Markets took place here, important moments of the city's life took place, manifestations, festivities, gatherings, and welcoming important visits. The typical arcades of Mělník Square provide protection against bad weather and were also used for trade. Many houses bore house signs, which are still visible today: the Golden Star, the Blue Star, the Golden Lamb, or the House at the Golden Grape. In addition to other privileges, Mělník also had the right to brew, the right to throat, and also the right to market, which was one of the most important. Annual markets - so-called fairs - were held twice a year. Length measures - elbows - are still built into the side of the main entrance to the town hall. They were used to verify the fairness of the rate of goods sold. The shorter elbow is Czech, the longer was Austrian. The center of the square consists of a medieval well, the outlines and central view of which are marked directly into the paving, not far from it is a fountain - the work of architect Jaroslav Fragner from 1938, the author of the sculpture Vinobraní is the academic sculptor Vincenc Makovský. The historical core of the town of Melnik evolved in the area of ​​the original medieval settlement probably called Pšov, whose fortification is proven in the 9th century. As a town, Mělník is mentioned for the first time in the charter of King Přemysl Otakar II. from November 25, 1274. The irregular ground plan of the square copies the boundary of the original fortified fortified settlement. The most preserved front of the houses is on the eastern part of the square with the arcades and a town hall building. These are houses of all of Gothic origin, later modified. The vast Gothic cellars are preserved there. After all, the whole square with adjacent streets is undermined by the tunnels and cellars. They go several floors deep and are probably used especially in times of danger as a shelter for the inhabitants and their properties. In the Middle Ages, they served primarily as storage rooms for food and due to the favorable conditions and also for wine storage. Square - Rynek was the center of every city. Here markets, important moments of city life, manifestations, celebrations, gatherings or welcome visits took place. Typical arcades of Mělník´s square provide protection from bad weather and also serve for trading. A number of houses had house signs that are still visible: the Golden Star, the Blue Star, the Golden Swan, or the Golden Grape House.

The irregularly shaped square forms the center of the historical part of the once royal or queen city. The buildings are of various historical origins and, as usual, the time-out exterior (town hall, monastery, etc.) there are also several buildings of modern times and fit well into older buildings. There is a beautiful fountain on the square with a sculpture Allegory of Viticulture by V. Makovský (1934).
