On the other side, for Prague citizens, this building is a symbol of the communist regime and totalitarianism. It was built in the early '80s to create a representative place where the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia could organize annual meetings. The official name was "Palac kultury". From the architectural point of view, the building is mostly a copy of a similar building from Hamburg, Germany from the '60s. After the Velvet revolution in 1989, the building was transformed into a Congress and Cultural Centre with a number of huge meetings and shows of famous musicians.
