    WHAT Architect WHERE Notes Zone 1: Praha 1 (Old Town, Lesser Town, Josefov, Hradcany) The Old Town Hall was built in 1338 as a complex of several ancient houses in the Old Town Square. The houses were connected one by one to a single unit for the purpose of administration of the Old Town of Prague. The horologe is the most fascinating feature of the Town Hall, it was first built in the first decade of the 15th century. The original structure was badly damaged by modifications at the end of the 18th century, and finally disappeared completely, when during the Old Town Hall Staroměstské nám. 1840s a new wing was built in a Neo-Gothic style. At the end of the 1/3 19th century other buildings were added to the Town Hall block, including the "Minute" house, an originally Gothic house dating from the beginning of the 15th century, and decorated at the beginning of the 17th century by a series of sgraffito designs representing classical and biblical themes. Beautiful views from here. General admission 250Kč. Mon (11am-10pm), Tue-Sun (9am-10pm) The Church of Mother of God before Týn was built in 1400.

The topics are many and sundry, spanning from a concise description of the hosting institutions to the most practical issues, such as guest computer accounts. Also included are a small dictionary and a little guide to the Czech pro- nunciation, or a general list of the jazz clubs and muse- ums. We hope that you will find the booklet helpful, and that you will enjoy your stay. If you have any questions or comments, please write to us.

Its southern border touches the Vysočina Region and in the north, P in the area of Králíky, it borders on the Polish Voivode of the Lower Silesia. Around 520,213 inhabitants live in the area of 4,519 square kilometres. 60 percent of its territory is formed by agricultural land; industrial areas are centred around bigger towns. The regional capital of Pardubice is a seat of the region. The region is divided into 4 districts: Pardubice, Chrudim, Svitavy and Ústí nad Orlicí. The river Elbe flows through the northwestern part of the region and makes up the fertile lowlands of Polabí; in the south, there is the area of the Iron Mountains with the river Chrudimka and the Žďár Hills. Both of the mountains are protected landscape areas and they are both part of the Czech-Moravian Highlands. The Podorlická Upland starts to raise eastward where the rivers Divoká and Tichá Orlice flow. Southern part of the Orlické Mountains reaches the Pardubice Region and at the border with Poland, there is Kralický Sněžník (1,423 metres) which is the highest mountain of the Pardubice Region. There is also main European watershed between the North and the Black Sea (the river Morava springs under the massif of the Kralický Sněžník Mountain). Besides beautiful and diverse nature we can also find many interesting towns and histori- cal monuments in the Pardubice Region.

  • Writing and Displaying Nations
    MARTA FILIPOVÁ 134 Writing and Displaying Nations: Constructing Narratives of National Art in Bohemia and Austria-Hungary Marta FilipovÁ In the nineteenth century, Bohemia, as a part of Austria-Hungary, enjoyed lively interaction between the two main ethnic groups, Germans and Czechs, at various levels of politics and culture. Discussions of what constituted the national art and culture of each ethnic group were particularly important as they provided opportunities to demonstrate the group’s claims regarding its past and present. This text focuses on two key aspects of the conscious creation and re-creation of narratives about Czech and German national heritage and culture in Bohemia; it examines art-historical writing by both Czech and German authors and it investigates tangible displays of art and cultural heritage at regional and national exhibitions. Both of these areas helped to form the Czech national culture, as well as Czech art history, as they were very much influenced by their opposition to the foundations of German heritage in Bohemia. In the nineteenth century, the task of constructing the notion of national art and heritage preoccupied scholars and writers, as well as politicians and local patriots in all regions of Central and Eastern Europe. As in the Baltic region, the Habsburg empire, consisting of a number of kingdoms and countries, contained a large ethnic mixture and long-standing competition over local culture. This text focuses on the geographical area of Bohemia, which was a part of this large empire and which underwent important developments in national self-aware- ness in the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twenti- eth century.
