Bono publico, Classical covered staircase in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.
Bono publico is a classical covered staircase in Hradec Králové that links different elevation levels throughout the city center. The structure features symmetrical flights with intermediate landings sheltered beneath a protective roof covering.
The staircase was built to navigate the steep elevation changes within the medieval town structure. It gained recognition as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic and was registered in the national heritage catalogue.
The staircase serves as a central gathering point where different parts of the old town meet naturally. Its Latin name reflects the intention to serve everyone equally in the community.
The covered design protects foot traffic from rain and weather while the wide construction provides safe passage for all visitors. The steps are regularly maintained and straightforward to use, keeping the passage accessible for daily use.
Many visitors overlook that the staircase has varying widths under its classical roof to adapt to the irregular topography of the town. This subtle adjustment makes each flight of stairs feel like its own spatial experience.
