Symbolism on the Buildings of Prague

The Golden Snake, the Stone Mermaid, and the Grey Elephant.
In the old town center of Prague, there are 264 buildings with symbols on their facades.
Traders and craftsmen were the first to use these particular decorations on buildings.
Some of them were also the place in which they had their workshops, when the custom of marking houses with a progressive number had not yet been adopted.
