PRAG - views from the Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren

[CARL]

A short walk from the hotel, the former Gestapo HQ. The cells below still display several features of their days as a place of torment. During the occupation, upwards of 1,000 staff worked within this large building. Nowadays, it serves as a government building.

1-2) External views of the building, shown before and after last year's cleaning project.

3) The memorial marker located on the corner of the structure - the wording speaks of not forgetting what fascism means.
