The area
Neighborhood: Nove Mesto (New Town)
Nearly 700 hundred meters long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na Příkopě, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafés, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theaters. National Theater near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.

I walked around the little area a couple of times and then it was there. Underwhelming - it is a lamp-post when all is said and done. And then I looked around and realised how it sat with the house behind, how it was utterly different and was actually very interesting that it survived, that it had been designed and it still made you stop and think. It is one more little but remarkable piece of the cubist architecture in Prague. A delightful novelty of design.

Hidden away past Footlocker . Could be a hotspot for tourists but being where it is is more of a pisspot for tourists . When we walked up a lovely man was having a lag in the corner next to it . Hey when you got to go you got to go.

Located on Jungmannovo Namesti is this quite famous piece of street art
You will find Emile Kralicek's Cubist Lamppost facing Church Of Our Lady In The Snow and in a city with many great examples of Cubist architecture this is the only lamppost ,it's very cool ,very unusual and most definitely well worth checking out if you're near Jungmannovo Namesti .

There are quite a few Cubist buildings in Prague but this is the only lamppost. The really should be seen as part of a tour that points out all these building. The tour I was on was the Sandeman's Red tour (Prague's communist past).

I just happened to see this as I was looking for other public art statues in this immediate area. There really are several. While this is not the same as the Kafka steel head, it is another quirky thing that makes you fall in love with Prague.

As it is the only one in the world, it is worth seeing it. It's a shame it's being ignored. Glad we saw it
