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.

Walk up the slope from the small town square, and you will reach the gate of the palace in about 15 minutes. There are outposts and guards outside the gate. Due to the high terrain, here you can admire the scenery of Prague from a high altitude, which is extremely beautiful. There is a gate next to the gate for tourists to enter and visit, but they must go through security checks before they can enter.

Beautiful old palace, generously laid out..

Beautiful medieval palace built after the fires that occurred in the area in the middle of the 16th century. It can be visited inside, inside there is a national gallery with paintings and sculptures mostly by local artists, and a collection of medieval weapons. For me, the best thing is its facade, it has fantastic details. If you get tired of touring the interior there is a cafeteria to rest and have a drink.

Located opposite the Prague Castle, it is one of the most beautiful Renaissance palaces in the city. It was built in the 16th century and stands out for the sgraffito of its structure, both the facade and the walls that imitate blocks. The site houses a large collection of religious art and sculptures on the ground floor, an impressive collection of Baroque-style paintings on the first floor, and a large collection of weapons on the upper floor.
