Dum U Rotta

The House at the Minute on Old Town Square in Prague is a protected cultural monument that dates back to a late Gothic rebuilding from the first half of the 15th century. Its facade is striking for its restored sgraffito decoration, which depicts biblical scenes, Renaissance life, and Greek mythology. The unusual name is said to come from an Italian baker who supposedly called out that his bread would be sold in a minute. The building later served as a pharmacy. It gained special historical significance as the home of the Kafka family, who lived here from 1889 to 1896 and where three of the famous writer's sisters were born.
