The historic building of Prague’s main train station is one of Czechia’s foremost Art Nouveau landmarks. Reconstruction has been ongoing here since 2021, and is now nearing completion with its southern wing also set for a revamp. This includes halls and lounges used by emperors, presidents, and other state officials.

The structure, also referred to as the Fanta building, after its architect Josef Fanta, replaced the original Neo-Renaissance train station in 1909.
