Municipal House

Municipal House

Or Public House.

One of the most beautiful buildings in Prague. This is Art-nuova style, in which all elements must create a feeling of richness. Colour green, maroon, gold, mosaic too. Up, in the semicircle, there is depicts an allegory of Prague. And the inscription in gold letters: " Prague, you must experience all the bad moments, as you experience the good".

What is the Art Nouveau style? Around the middle of the 19th century, industry began to develop. Rich people appear. Those who own factories and factories. They want to show off their wealth so that all people can see how much money they have, how expensively they dress, and on what scale they can spend this money. Their wives want to shine with their dresses and diamonds.This desire was expressed in the Art Nouveau style of architecture, displaying wealth.

Previously the rich people only, who had owned the factories, for example, could visit this place.

Inside were hall for temporary exebitions, concert hall, the most expensive restaurant with a French cuisine, representative interior and very helpful waitress.

Till today it’s like that.

The interior is grandiose there! This place for sure worth to visit it! For good coffee with cheesecake, or for festive dinner.
