Ungelt, Medieval trade complex in Old Town, Czech Republic
The Ungelt building complex contains multiple structures with Gothic architecture and Renaissance elements arranged around a central courtyard in Prague's historic center.
Starting in the 10th century, this customs house served as a regulated marketplace where foreign merchants stored goods, paid taxes, and received protection for their merchandise.
The Granovský Palace stands within the complex, featuring Italian Renaissance architecture and decorative mythological motifs that reflect European artistic influences of its time.
Located near public transportation stops in Prague 1, the complex includes restaurants, shops, and spaces for exhibitions presenting Czech art and traditions.
The inscription above the entrance reads 'Futility upon futility and ages of futility,' referring to the perpetual nature of customs duties in medieval trade.
