Black Madonna


This is the House of the Black Madonna in Prague. The building is famous for its cubist design. I personally also like the windows which provided a very nice reflection of the sky. Photo taken in July 2006.


Do you like it better in color or black and white?

  5. Color, most definitely. But then, I'm not a real fan of bw. Color excites me.

  6. I like the color one best. The colors make the fantastic details and the reflections pop right out.

    To have a name like the Black Madonna, there must be an interesting story behind this building?

  7. Clytie: If you look on the corner of the building inside that cage-looking thing there's a black madonna (not the singer!) figurine. Hence the name. But it does have an interesting history. There's an entry for the building on wikipedia.
