It holds a prominent place in the architectural and political history of the Czech Republic. This modernist masterpiece is located in the Republic Square, close to the Powder Tower, and is used for representative purposes.

Historical Significance of the Municipal House

It was built by King Wenceslas IV in 1380, marking a shift of the court from Prague Castle to the Old Town. This historical significance adds to the allure of the Municipal House for visitors.
