Stará radnice, Baroque town hall in Moravská Ostrava, Czech Republic.

The Stará radnice building stands at the southwestern corner of Masaryk Square, featuring a tower and multiple architectural elements from different periods.

The first documented mention of the town hall dates to 1539, with the tower being rebuilt after a fire in 1556 according to B. Vlach's design.

The structure represents the evolution of local governance, combining Baroque, Empire, and Neo-Renaissance architectural elements through centuries of modifications.

Visitors can access guided tours and exhibitions at the Old Town Hall, which now houses the Ostrava Museum and tourist information center.

Lightning struck the tower in 1829, leading to debates about its demolition, but officials chose reconstruction, preserving this architectural landmark.
