Architecture in Prague

Own photo
 I took these photographs while on a trip to Prague this summer. I loved how the architecture - typically Baroque or Art Noveau - was so different in comparison to the rest of Europe.
The above photo is of architecture in the Old Town, while the bottom photo is situated in the New Town.

 The below photo is the only modern building that I saw while visiting the city. It is called the Ginger house, built in 1996 in the new-baroque style, it is one of the only building of this style, and there was much controversy when it was finished on how it would fit with running architecture within the city. But now nearly 10 years after the building was completed, it is now seen as an addition to the art work of the city.
