The Adria Palace is an important cultural monument of modern architecture. It was built by the Italian insurance company Riunione Adriatica di Sicurta, which purchased the original two-story palace residence on this site in 1910. The palace was built here 100 years earlier by Leopold Leonard, Count Thun, Bishop of Passau. The building was decorated with sculptures by Josef Malínský.

The insurance company had the old palace demolished and, in 1923-24, built a new palace covering an area of over 2,000 m². The building was designed by architect Josef Zasche, and a new color scheme by architect Pavel Janák in the Rondocubism style (Czech arched Cubism) was chosen for the facades. The facade is very distinctly structured architecturally. The upper floors are designed in the form of massive towers with battlements, reminiscent of Italian Renaissance palaces and, at the same time, a fortified structure.

Since the late 1920s, the second floor of this architectural gem has been home to Prague's famous Reunion concert café. In spring 2007, we opened Café Adria in its place, and we hope that this brief guide to the history of the Adria Palace will make your visit to these historic premises even more enjoyable and that you will be happy to return.
