Indeed, in the capital of the Czech Republic Specifically, you find a corner that, when you see it, will surely not leave you indifferent.

I am referring to the one known as Dancing House, designed by the Czech-Croatian architect vlado milunic in collaboration with prestigious Canadian architect Frank Gehry.

Without a doubt it is the best expression of the most modern architecture in Prague, which contrasts with the baroque style and art nouveau of most of the buildings in the center of this medieval city.

Commissioned by the company ING, Dancing House It was completed in 1996.

This building stands out for its total freedom in its design, and when you see it you will not be surprised that due to its irregular shapes it can also be known as the Drunk House,Ginger and Fred.
