The only remaining connection between Roith’s impressive granite-faced palace and its
predecessor is the sculptural group of ‘Genius and the Lion’ by Antonín Popp,
which was transferred from the earlier building and has since become a symbol
strongly associated with the CNB. In every other respect the bank presents an image
not only of striking modernity but also of fortress-like impregnability.
