Schwarzenberg Palace

Schwarzenberg Palace stands on the area of three buildings that were destroyed by great fire in 1541. The ruins were bought by Jan Popel of Lobkowicz, one of the richest noblemen in Bohemia and later on Prague’s highest burgrave. The mail building, in T-shape, was built in 1567, the western wing was finished several years later. The walls of the palace enclose a square courtyard divided from the Hradcanske square by a wall and a grille gate.

从小城广场沿着斜坡向上走，大概15分钟左右就达皇宫的大门，门外有哨站并有守卫站岗。由于地势高，这里可以居高临下欣赏布拉格的风景，极之美丽。大闸旁边有门供游客进入参观，但必须经过安检才能进去。
