Prague Main Train Station

Prague Main Railway Station is defined by two clashing faces: a grand, twin-towered Art Nouveau building from the early twentieth century and a sprawling, subterranean Brutalist concourse built in the nineteen seventies. While travelers today largely navigate the modern glass-and-steel terminal, the historic structure—known as the Fanta Building—rises above the platforms with its domed central hall and ornate sculptures. Designed by the architect Josef Fanta, this older wing opened in nineteen oh nine to replace an earlier neo-Renaissance station.
