Old Town Hall Tower

One of the famed Czech and Prague landmarks, featuring the 1300s Astronomical Clock as well as an exciting history. The loved symbol of Prague had been under attack for several days during Prague Uprising in early May, 1945 and heavily damaged. Sun is the symbol of the tower, as seen in the magnet’s background.

New Mill Water Tower

Originally a wooden mill and water tower from 1660 which supplied a system of 56 fountains in the New Town of Prague. A mill wheel is the symbol, depicted at the top of the magnet as a reminder of the original purpose.

Old Town Bridge Tower

Built in the mid-1300s on the first pile of the Charles Bridge, it served as a victory arch for coronation processions of Czech kings. Kingfisher, the symbol of this tower, is depicted in the arch, standing for love and fidelity.

Lesser Town Bridge Towers

Maltese cross is the symbol of the unequal pair of towers that make an entrance to Lesser Town. The lower tower is Romanesque. The taller and depicted one is Gothic, just like the Old Town Bridge Tower on the opposite side of Charles Bridge.

St Nicholas Bell Tower

Attached to the Baroque St Nicholas church, the tower used to serve as the last fire watchtower of Prague until 1891. In the 1950s, the communist Secret Police used it to monitor neighbouring Western embassies. A bell symbolizing the tower, is depicted in the move. Or are there two of them?

Mirror Maze

The mini castle-like pavilion with 9 spires was built in 1891. Inside, there is a labyrinth made of mirrors. The magnet is adorned with a cherry blossom referring to the nearby Petřín Tower and cherry orchards.
