Thanks Ankush
These are great Adam, you just don’t see things like that around here architecturally speaking !!
True, that! Although Prague’s architecture in many ways has much in common with other medieval cities, it has many unique aspects to it as well that give it a flavor all its own.
Very cool. So intersting that each of them have a meaning, and that you managed to find that!
I doubt I would have figured it out on my own – our guide book had a little section on Prague’s old house signs.
