Picturesque houses in Nový Svět Street (New World Street) in Hradčany district in Prague, Czech Republic. Fake cannonballs made from kitchen ladles are seen on the facade of the house in the centre. Kitchen ladles were used by local artists in the 1970s to imitate the real cannonballs from the time of the Siege of Prague by the Prussian army in May 1757 during the Third Silesian War (Seven Years War) which are still visible on the nearby buildings.
