Adria Palace

Czech republic, Prague
The striking building in the style of rondocubism is located in the center of the Czech capital, on Jungman Square. The palace was built in the 20s of the last century for an Italian insurance company, and, according to the idea of ​​​​customers, was to be associated with power and reliability. Italian "roots" can be traced in the stone towers of the upper tier, which resemble the palace motifs of the Renaissance. After the departure of the insurance company, the unusual building changed a number of owners - there was a cinema club, a theater, a coffee shop with shops, and even the Institute of Cosmetics. Today, Adria Palace serves as a commercial and business center with restaurants, offices and shops.

The palace, built in 1923-1924 by order of the insurance company "Riunione Adriatica di Sicurt? ", Is an outstanding architectural structure. The building consists of three underground and eight ground floors and is made in the style of Rondocubism. Rondocubism is inherent in Czech architecture, moreover - it is believed that it is unique to Prague. This type of cubism combines elements of "classical" cubism and Slavic art. The palace was designed by architect Josef Zasche in collaboration with architect Pavel Janak (designed the facade).
