Franz Kafka had an apartment in this massive baroque building at the top of Trziste ulice in mid-1917, after moving from Zlatá ulicka, or Golden Lane. The heavily guarded U.S. Embassy and consular office now occupies this prime location. It's a bad idea to linger here; the Czech police take the threat of terrorist acts against American targets seriously, and if you hang around with no apparent purpose, you could be approached and questioned.
