Palác Akropolis, Cultural center in Žižkov, Prague, Czech Republic
Palác Akropolis is a cultural center in Žižkov housing multiple spaces for performances and exhibitions. The building contains a main concert hall, a smaller stage, a theater bar, a cafe, and residential apartments on the upper floors.
Construction was completed in 1927 under architect Rudolf Svoboda and initially operated as a cinema. In January 1928 it was transformed into a theater.
The building serves as a meeting place for diverse artistic expression, where music, theater, and visual art regularly intersect. Visitors encounter a living scene shaped by both local and international artists.
The venue is best reached by taking Metro C to Hlavni Nadrazi station, where trams provide further connections. Visitors can easily explore the neighborhood on foot or by using public transportation from the city center.
The Iron Burial Society acquired the building during the Great Depression, a time when theater activities nearly ceased. This episode shaped the building and its later phases of revival.
