Brutalism of Prague: a Tour of Soviet-Era Architecture (50s-90s)


What does brutalism have in common with the word "brutal"? Is it because of the way these buildings look, or is there a deeper meaning behind these grey, impersonal, geometrical monstrosities?


Join our walk around Prague and discover the inner beauty of architectural designs often deemed "obsolete." You'll encounter the stories behind their creation, sprinkled with hidden messages, symbolism, and a touch of inner rebellion. Although they were built under an oppressive system, do they deserve to be destroyed?
