Golden Angel

Golden Angel is a building located at the intersection of Andel square with curved edges and extensive glass facades. The seven-floor structure houses modern office spaces with a carefully designed layout for commercial use.

The name comes from a former pharmacy that displayed a golden angel statue before it was removed in 1980 for subway construction. The current building was erected as a modern structure at this historically significant location.

The facade displays quotations from Franz Kafka, Rainer Maria Rilke, and other writers, reflecting Prague's literary heritage. These words become part of the everyday view for anyone crossing the square.

The building is located at a central point that is easy to reach and sits at an important traffic junction. Visitors should expect the area to be busy during daytime hours with foot traffic passing through regularly.

The facade was created using a special printing technique with 150 million tiny dots that form an angel image when viewed together. This design was inspired by the film Wings of Desire.
