                          The Česká národní banka, or ČNB,
                            is the Czech National Bank.  This
                            recently refurbished complex is its
                            headquarters, made up of two
                            buildings.  The main building is a
                            banking house originally built for the Czech
                            bank, Živnostenská banka.  The second
                            building, built in 1895 is called the
                            Commodity Exchange.  The refurbishment
                            took 33 months to complete and cost CZK 4.8
                            billion.
