Olomouc - Dolni namesti

The Dolni namesti square, known as the lower square, in Olomouc is just south of the upper square, Horni namesti. Here visitors will find the Neptune fountain, designed by Michael Mandik and Vaclav Schuller. This is the oldest of six baroque fountains built in Olomouc. Also of note on Dolni namesti is the Renaissance Hauenschild Palace and the Gothic Church of St Moritz. The Church of St Moritz (St Maurice) dates to the early 15th Century, although a church stood on this spot prior to that time. It is a national cultural monument, and is noteworthy not only for the structure but also for the 1745 organ it contains.
