Fantova budova, Art Nouveau station building at Prague Main Railway Station, Czech Republic
The Fantova budova features curved lines, floral patterns, and decorative elements across its exterior walls and throughout the main hall interior.
Josef Fanta designed this railway station building, which opened in 1909 and drew inspiration from the architectural elements of Paris Gare du Nord.
The station's dome displays the inscription 'Praga Mater Urbium' from 1918, representing Prague's status as a central European transportation hub.
The building houses a cafe beneath its central dome, with operating hours from 8:00 to 20:00, offering refreshments to travelers and architecture enthusiasts.
Between 1972 and 1979, a communist-era terminal extension partially concealed the original structure, which was later restored during renovations in 2010.
