Built by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Tugendhat Villa is considered one of the most extraordinary examples of modern architecture from the early 20th century.
In a posh residential area, it was constructed in 1930 for Fritz Tugendhat and his family, after whom the building is named, and is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Incorporating some of the most modern technology and concepts from that time period, the villa — the first masterpiece of modern architecture to be built on Czech soil — is famous for its unique open-plan structure and use of materials such as onyx, chrome, travertine, and ebony.
