Mrakodrap


Mrakodrap (English "Skyscraper") at 44-48 American Street (Americka trida) is the oldest higher building in Plzen, dating from 1924, and resembles older tall buildings of the American type.

In essence, it consists of three buildings which the three strongest political parties of the time had built, hence this location was also referred to as "The Triple Alliance" (U trojdohody).
