Loretánská Street - Prague, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

The corner building opposite the Town Hall, and the adjacent building with an arcade form together the southern wing of the Tuscan Palace. The largest building in the picture, No. 181, is the Military Hospital, today housing barracks of the Castle Guard. This is the former Martinic House built at the beginning of the 18th century by the Italian architect Scotti at the expense of George Adam, count of Martinic who served as the Vice-Roy of Naples. The building was used as a hospital in 1837 and it was this hospital that was the venue of the remarkable medical examination of the protagonist of the best-known Czech satirical novel The Good Soldier Schweik by J. Hašek. In front of the building we can today see an interesting reminder of 19th-century technical progress - a cast-iron gas lamp-post.
