Škoda Palace (Czech: Škodův palác) is the current site of the Prague Town Hall. The late Art Deco building in Jungmannova Street was built in 1929 for the Škoda company using a design by the prominent architect Pavel Janák (Adria Palace, Czernin Palace). The adjacent office building in Charvátova Street dates back to 1937. Even today, both buildings still satisfy the strictest requirements thanks to their flexible arrangement of office and common space within the buildings. The buildings are accessible through several entrances, which allows the interiors to be easily divided into independent sections. The Palace served as the headquarters of the ČEZ Energy Group from 1994 to 2004.
