Summary
[edit]DescriptionLascar Detail of one of the towers of the Praha hlavní nádraží (Prague Main railway station ) (4501605147).jpg | Prague Main railway station (Praha hlavní nádraží, abbreviated as Praha hl.n) is the largest and most important railway station in Prague. It was opened in 1871 as the Franz Joseph I station. During the First Republic and from 1945 to 1953 the station was called Wilson station (Wilsonovo nádraží) after US president Woodrow Wilson. His statue was placed in the park before the station, however the statue was destroyed during the Soviet occupation. The Art Nouveau station building and station hall was built between 1901 and 1909, designed by the Czech architect Josef Fanta, on the site of old dismantled Neo-Renaissance station. The station was extended by a new terminal building, built between 1972 and 1979, including an underground station and a motorway on the roof of terminal. The new terminal building destroyed a large part of the park, and the motorway cut off the neo-renaissance station hall from the town, so it is resented by locals.[verification needed] The station is being revitalized by the Italian company GrandiStazioni [Wikipedia.org] |
