Reference to Prague in Joyce's Works

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

  The prefect's shoes went away.  Where?  Down the staircase and along the corridors or to his room at the end?  He saw the dark.  Was it true about the black dog that walked there at night with eyes as big as carriage-lamps?  They said it was the ghost of a murderer.  A long shiver of fear flowed over his body.  He saw the dark entrance hall of the castle.  Old servants in old dress were in the ironing-room above the staircase.  It was long ago.  The old servants were quiet.  There was a fire there, but the hall was still dark.  A figure came up the staircase from the hall.  He wore the white cloak of a marshal; his face was pale and strange; he held his hand pressed to his side.  He looked out of strange eyes at the old servants.  They looked at him and saw their master's face and cloak and knew that he had received his death-wound.  But only the dark was where they looked: only dark silent air.  Their master had received his death-wound on the battlefield of Prague far away over the sea.  He was standing on the field; his hand was pressed to his side; his face was pale and strange and he wore the white cloak of a marshal.  (P 19-20)

Jeruzalemska Synagoga
      Jeruzalemska Synagoga (The Jerusalem Synagogue) is located at Jeruzalemska, Nove Mesto, Praha.  The Society for the Construction of a New Temple" was founded in 1898 with the aim of providing a replacement for the Zigeiner, Great-Court and New synagogues which were demolished during the reconstruction of the Jewish Town.  In January 1899, the society purchased an old house in Jerusalem Street in Prague's New Town as a site for the new building.  It was designed in 1903 by the renowned Viennese architect Wilhelm Stiassny, and undertaken in 1905 - 1906 by Alois Richter at the society's expense.  The synagogue was dedicated on 16 September 1906 during the festival of Simhat Torah.  The Jerusalem Synagogue is an interesting example of Art Nouveau stylisation of the morphology of the Moorish style.  (Referred to the Official Pamphlet)

Charles Bridge
  
   Part of Karel IV's Gothic building frenzy, Charles Bridge (Karluv Most) was constructed to replace the earliest Judith Bridge (Juditin most; named after Vladislav I's queen), which had been irreparably damaged by ice. Designed by Peter Parler, it was completed in about 1400, though it was called the Prague Bridge until the 19th century. Despite occasional flood damage, it withstood wheeled traffic for 600 years without a shudder - thanks, legend says, to eggs mixed into the mortar - until it was made pedestrian- only after WWII. During the floods of 2002, cranes stood watch over the bridge, pulling large pieces of detritus out of the water so the pillars would not be damaged.
  Many of the statues were later additions, put up to promote their particular ecclesiastical orders. These days the most popular is that of the country's patron saint, Jan of Nepomuk, tortured to death by Vaclav IV. Most of the statues are copies - the originals are preserved in Vysehrad and at the Fairgrounds Lapidarium. (Neal Bedford, etc., Czech & Slovak Republics, Lonely Planet 2004)
