7 Jaw-Dropping Structures In Prague You Need To See
The Dancing house, image by @euginiahanganu. Nicknamed ‘Fred and Ginger’ by locals, this beautiful building houses offices, a restaurant, a gallery and a conference center. The terrace allows visitors to gaze at the panoramic view of Prague’s Skyline.
Prague Astronomical Clock, image by @lorenzo.picchiotti. The detailing of the clock represents day and night through its colors. The clock depicts the position of the sun and the moon throughout the day.
St Vitus Cathedral, image by @hhotelsgroup. This beautiful cathedral had its foundation laid in 1344 and fully completed construction in 1929. It is the tallest cathedral in Prague and a key example of Gothic architecture.
Zizkov Television Tower, image by @sifonka_simi. The television tower stands 216 meters tall and consists of a tubular center with decks containing antennas and several other equipment. The tower was given a temporary art installment using giant crawling babies, which later became permanent as it attracted tourists from around the world.
Charles Bridge, image by @califragilistic98. At one point, this bridge was the only means of crossing River Valtava. It formed a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. The bridge consists of 30 decorative statues and is made out of sandstone.
House of Black Madonna, image by @tatsuohase. This structure was originally built as a department store in the 1900s by renowned Czech architecture Josef Gocar. After being rebuilt in the 90s, it now houses the Museum of Decorative Arts and the only cafe in the world with Cubist interiors.
St Nicolas Church, image by @stellalee90. The St Nicolas Church took three family generations (Dientzenhofer) to complete. The intricate detailing in the interior is truly worth a visit.
