| Lucerna (Lantern) Palace - The buildings around the upper part of Wenceslas Square are interconnected via a system of passages, the most famous of them being the Lucerna (Lantern) Passage. The large passage connects Vodičkova and Štěpánská streets and houses numerous stores and restaurants, a movie theatre, music bar, and a prestigious concert hall - the Lucerna Grand Hall. Lucerna was Prague’s first multipurpose complex from the beginning of the 20th century – it is one of the best-known of Prague's cultural 'palaces'. It was built between 1907 and 1921 after a project by Vácslav Havel (the grandfather of the former President Václav Havel) and Stanislav Bechyně. The first part of the arcade was officially opened in 1907. | |
