During the era of early-20th-Century Cubism, Bohemia was one of the few places in the world where there were Cubist buildings, as usually the style was associated more with painting and sculpture. Josef Gocar was one of the leading Czech Cubist architects, and for tourists, one of his easiest works to visit is the House of the Black Madonna, seen here, which isn't far from Namesti Republiky. Built between 1911 and 1912, it replaced an earlier building which it inherited its distinctive "Black Madonna" statue from.

The Vychodoceska Muzeum (Museum of East Bohemia) in Hradec Kralove is as much known for its own architecture as for its collections. Designed by Jan Kotera (1871-1923, often confused with his student Josef Gocar, 1880-1945) in 1909, it was completed in 1912, and is now considered one of 's masterpieces, as well as one of the best surviving examples of cubist architecture in the world.
