Stories of old Prague houses

An atmosphere of times long past, the sturdy walls of former centuries, narrow portals, diverse house signs and a colourful palette of architectural periods and styles – all these are the houses of old Prague. Small palaces with enchanted secrets. Hidden stories that complete the character of a city that attracts ever more attention. The magic of Faust House, the Cubism of the House at the Black Madonna, the secrets of Sova's Mills, the prison at the Old Town Hall or the fairy tales in the Štorch House – all this and much more forms the content of this publication about the old houses of Prague, which we pass by every day without a second thought. Stories both well-known and almost forgotten can be not only a suitable means to reflect on our national past, not only an entertaining way to while away the time, but also a guide on where to go during walks through our ancient, mysterious and beautiful capital city.
