Gočárovo schodiště, Historic stairs in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.
These concrete stairs connect Na Kropáčce street with Komenského street, featuring clean modernist lines, rest platforms, and distinctive polygonal lamps suspended beneath a prominent arch.
Completed in 1910 according to architect Josef Gočár's design, the stairs replaced the demolished Kropáček tower and were constructed using innovative reinforced concrete technology for that era.
The structure represents a significant example of early 20th-century modernist architecture in the Czech Republic and has been designated as a cultural monument since 1964.
The stairs measure approximately 20 meters in length, include resting areas with bilateral railings, and serve as a functional connection between different parts of the city center.
The three polygonal lamps hanging in the central arch earned the stairs the local nickname 'U tří tupláků' and create a distinctive evening illumination effect.
