Špalkův obchodní dům is a prime example of functionalist architecture in Hradec Králové. Built in the 1920s, this historic department store was designed by architect Josef Gočár and features a striking glass facade and clean geometric lines. Today, it houses a mix of shops, cafes, and cultural spaces. Visitors can admire the building's exterior and interior, including the original staircase and atrium. It remains a vibrant commercial hub and a symbol of the city's modernist heritage.
