Samples of Litomerice Architecture

Posted by mom811 on Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

In a previous post, I said I’ll show later the architecture of Litomerice (”in another post: The Architecture of Litomerice … in time please”), and so here are some of their quaint and charming buildings, crafted with much meticulousness, as in other European designs of old!

church

The first church at the intersection. The spires are very Czech, reminds one of beautiful Our Lady of Tyn Church at the Old Town Square in Prague

building

The second church , with the upper portion given priority; note the Cross (I’m sorry we couldn’t identify the above churches)

Litom??ice town hall

The Litomerice Town Hall, note the unique design of their tower, which serves as a viewing deck as well.

Salva Guarda Hotel

The Salva Guarda Hotel (with picturesque design/decor on the exterior walls?) where we saw the bust of Dr. Jose P. Rizal gracing the ground floor terrace. This building is fronting the city plaza, with the main avenue in between them.

building

This building and the one below were in front the city plaza..note the  shop

building

So can we say, these are commercial buildings?

Though most of the structures are unidentified, the purpose here is just to show them as we have seen them (focus on their design), and hopefully you appreciate them as we do.

    very nice indeed. i love the details. its visible how much effort has been put into building these beauties..

    i dont know with you, but to me they look very simple and yet complicated which is why i think they really look wonderful..

    Blanne: Sure, the European architecture of olden times are fascinating, if only they can be all documented!

    I’m glad to know you’re from Cebu; lived there for 18 long and memorable years! Thanks for taking time to comment.
