Architecture in Prague

700 Years of Architecture in Prague

From Jackie Craven, About.com

Explore the streets of Prague in the Czech Republic and you'll find great buildings that span the centuries. Gothic, Baroque, Beaux Arts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco architecture stand side-by-side along narrow, winding roads in Old Town, the Lesser Quarter, and the Hradcany. As for churches? It's no wonder that Prague is called the golden city of spires.
