Itinerary
Koruna means crown in Czech. Its a great representation of geometric Art Nouveau by the Viennese architect Pfeifer. The Czech Republic was still part of the Austrian Empire when this building was officially opened in 1914.
This is the most famous cultural house in the country. Its called Lucerna, meaning Lantern. It was designed by the grandfather of Vaclav Havel.
The Palac Adria is another example of the style known as national decorativism. When Le Corbusier was teaching in the Mozarteum across the road, he often would comment on the bad taste of Czech buildings, and the tendency to over-decorate them.

About Prague
Prague's skyline of spires rises over the Vltava, with a hilltop castle, statue-lined bridge and a medieval old town that survived largely intact.
Prague Castle, one of the largest castle complexes anywhere, crowns the hill of Hradčany, with St Vitus Cathedral at its centre and the tiny houses of Golden Lane tucked behind. Below, the Lesser Town's Baroque palaces and terraced gardens lead down to the Charles Bridge, lined with statues of saints and busy from dawn.
Top-ranked sights in Prague: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
