Description
The old houses of Prague evoke the atmosphere of bygone times through their massive centuries-old walls, narrow portals, varied house signs, and rich array of architectural styles. They are small palaces concealing secrets and hidden stories that help shape the character of a city attracting ever-growing attention. The magic of Faust House, Art Nouveau at the House of the Black Madonna, the mystery of Sovovy Mills, the prison at Stará rychta, and the fairy tales of Štorch House are among the many subjects explored in this publication about the old Prague houses we pass every day without noticing. These familiar and nearly forgotten stories offer opportunities to reflect on our national past, an entertaining way to pass the time, and inspiration for walks through the ancient, mysterious, and beautiful capital city.
