Žitná Street is one of the busiest street in center of Prague now.
This picture depict a medley of original mediaeval buildings with Neo-Classical facades and more recent structures built after 1870. The older buildings include two buildings on the left, Nos. 607 and 606. The next, three-storey building with a mediaeval core stands on the corner of Ve Smeckách Street. The four-storey building, No. 1383, housed the funeral parlour of K. Fuchs. Behind it, on the corner of Krakovská Street, is a tall building built on the site of three mediaeval buildings. On the right side of the street, U Zeleného stromu (The Green Tree) building housed the headquarters of the red cross nurses in the Czech Kingdom. The next structure, No. 570, on the corner of V Tuních (In the Pools) Street, housed the printing office of the Catholic cooperative Vlast (Fatherland) which issued a monthly of the same name, as well as Naše listy (Our Periodical) weekly, and the fortnightly Vychovatel (The Educator). In contrast to the stately gas lanterns in the nearby boulevards the lanterns in this street were merely functional.
