RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Wednesday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
Prague House of Invalides, main entrance, Karlín. Prague
This building was inspired by its Parisian pattern. Count Petr Strozzi, in 1664, left all his property to this institution. It was to be built and operated from this property.
The construction began in 1732. Finally, only one-nine of the original project was built.
With breaks, the Petro Strozzi Foundation existed until 1948, when it was finally expropriated by the state.
You can see the founder's bust in front of the building. From behind.
