Rudolfinum, Manes Bridge and Hradcany, Old Town, Prague
P1100197.JPG
Today about Rudolfinum ... The building was planned as a cultural center of Prague. It was built between 1876 and 1881 in Neo-Renaissance style. The construction was paid by Česká spořitelna, a bank that celebrated 50 years. It was inaugurated by the then Crown Prince Rudolf, after which the building was named. The most important hall was the concert hall.
The Prince committed suicide in four years. But the building stands still.
