Palac Akropolis started as a unique project involving an independent multifunctional space, the only one of its kind in the Czech Republic.

In an environment technically and aesthetically prepared to meet the high demands of professionals and popular amongst the general public, several facilities have been united under one roof. The cultural complex, consisting of an independent theatre, a concert hall, a cinema and an exhibition space and called THE AKROPOLIS PALACE, has for over half a decade been contributing to the wealth of cultural life in Prague.

The project was developed by "Centre of Independent Culture" founded in 1991. The agency undertook the general reconstruction of the pre-war Akropolis theatre - which was closed to the public and abandoned in 1948 and had since been deteriorating - and re-opened the theatre in 1996. The successful reconstruction of the theatre was followed by the reconstruction of all other interior spaces. By 1993, the once ordinary residential building was recognised as a cultural monument of the Zizkov quarter, attracting an ever greater and more varied public, both Czech and foreign. In January 1996 the AKROPOLIS PALACE was joined by the most popular Zizkov music club of the 80's - the once famous "Junior Klub na Chmelnici".

THE AKROPOLIS RESTAURANT is among the most frequented restaurants in the Zizkov area and the quality of its cooking and originality of the decor make it a favourite place for artistic, business or friendly meetings or celebrations. The magic interior created by the architect Frantisek Skala jr. contains among other things artefacts and creations brought from the EXPO 92 in Seville. Since its opening in 1993, you can find the restaurant in most tourist publications and Prague city guides.
