Wenceslas Sqaure – the palaces of our era. Mafiosos, investors, idealists. Euphoria and hangover. Taste and lack of taste. Billions. The constant need to build. Those were the ’90s and ’00s, years that left their mark on Wenceslas Square. Euro, Langhans, Diamant, Darex, Copa, Metropole. Let’s have a look at the palaces of our era, the newest buildings on Wenceslas Square and its immediate surroundings.
