Nám. Republiky 5. The Obecní dům was built near the Powder Tower (a storage place for gunpowder and a major trade route entry into the city) on a site called King's Court where once a royal residence stood. In 1901, the Prague Civic Society made a proposal to city authorities to build a center for official and social Czech events. As happened so many other times in recent Prague history, the Czechs were trying to balance the grand buildings erected by the German-speaking community of Prague with suitable edifices of their own. The "German House" (now co-opted and renamed Slovanský dům, or Slavic House, on Na Příkopě street) and a German casino were enough to make the Czechs want a place of their own. Unless you have tickets to an event, the rooms other than the foyer can only be seen on a guided tour (separate tours in Czech and English, information booklets available in other world languages).
Municipal House is a civic building that houses Smetana Hall, a celebrated concert venue, in Prague, Czech Republic. It is located on Náměstí Republiky next to the Powder Gate in the centre of the city.

Prašná brána
One of the original city gates, which separates the Old Town from the New Town. The gate was used to store gunpowder in the 17th century, hence the name Powder Tower or Powder Gate.
The Museum of Czech Cubism in the renovated House of the Black Madonna exhibits furniture suites, individual pieces, accessory furnishings and objects made of ceramic, glass and metals. It offers an overview of the foremost creative achievements of Czech Cubism’s key exponents. This unique Cubist building, designed by Josef Gočár, was built in 1911–1912.
The Estates Theatre
Oldest theatre building still standing in the city. Mozart's opera Don Giovanni was premiered here, with Mozart personally conducting, and Don Giovanni is still often in the repertoire, as are other operas, plays and ballets.
A very striking pure Gothic church on the outside, with a beautiful Baroque interior. The interior is free to visit with a suggested donation, but everyone except for worshippers at Mass must stay in the entryway area and no photos are allowed. You still have a very good view of most of the details of the interior from behind the rope, however, and it's well worth it for you to enter. Entry is via a building on Old Town Square.
A haunted house with actors and VR zombie shooting.
