Střecha Lucerny

The Lucerna Palace in Prague's New Town is a historic complex near Wenceslas Square that was declared a National Cultural Monument in 2017. One of the city's first reinforced-concrete buildings, it combines late Art Nouveau with elements of modernism. Originally planned as an ice hockey stadium, the building was converted into a stately ballroom after 1907. The façade on Vodičkova Street is believed to be the work of Osvald Polívka. Today, the palace serves as a cultural center hosting concerts, conferences, and fashion shows. You can explore the great hall, the Marble Hall, a movie theater, as well as a bar and a café. Since its restitution to the Havel family after 1989, the venue has continued to shape Prague's social life.
