Lamp Post

The only Cubist lamp post in the world is found in the city of Prague amid a combination of architectural styles including the Functionalist Bata building, the Gothic Church of our Our Lady of the Snow, and the Secession Adam Pharmacy building. Such is the scenery of the center of Prague; different architecture styles coexist on the uniform cobblestone streets. The lamp post by Emil Kralicek, is tucked away in a corner off of Wenceslas Square and is worth seeing if only to say to your friends that you have seen the one and only Cubist lamp post in the world.

Jungmannovo náměstí, Praha 1.
