Palác Lucerna, Art Nouveau shopping and cultural center in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic

The Lucerna Palace spreads across ten floors above ground and four underground levels, featuring passages connecting Štěpánská and Vodičkova streets.

Construction began in 1907 under architect Vácslav Havel, grandfather of future Czech president, using reinforced concrete techniques that were innovative for Prague.

The palace contains multiple entertainment spaces including the Great Hall, Marble Hall, and Music Bar, which regularly host concerts and cultural events.

Two elevators provide access to different sections of the building, which contains retail stores, cafes, a cinema, and multiple performance venues.

The building maintains one of Prague's twenty-six operational paternoster lifts, a continuous chain of open compartments moving slowly without stopping.
