Prague Sites 2

Prague has its share of castles, museums, cathedrals, etc., but what interested us most was the array of Art Nouveau buildings all over the five main districts of the old town; every block revealed new wonders; none of these are national nor religious shrines; just buildings, street after street, block after block, some commercial, most residential. Here's a nearly random assortment.

Outside the Mustek metro station in Stare Mesto







Just down the street; after a few hours in Prague, you begin
to get a neck-ache looking up at these things












Ditto










Gold, grill-work, ornamentation everywhere









Just an apartment house, probably













Stores, shops



Hotel entrance across from the Mucha Museum

















Stunning stuff, some of it











Entrance to a shopping arcade in Stare Mesto







Many buildings adorned with paintings








On Neruda Street in Mala Strana, just residences mostly








Medusa





Locksmith















Swan House
