Archbishop's Palace Photo: Archbishop's Palace

On Hradcany square Prague perpendicular to the Prague castle is a three-storey Palace, built in the lush Baroque style, which is called Catholicism. Beautiful light-filled building with an impressive balcony directly above the entrance and a number of curved Windows on the top floor was built in the XVI century, though not on an empty place. Until 1538 on a small patch of land that now occupies the Archbishop's Palace, lived 8 houses belonging to burghers and merchants. Once they are torn down and built a residence for Florian Gripka – favorite of Emperor Ferdinand I. However, the favourite of the ruling lady for some reason it is not got on. Just a few decades later, the building becomes the property of Archbishop Antoninus of Timber and since then became his permanent place of residence and official residence of all the archbishops of the Czech capital.

The Palace was many times subjected to surgery. Its modern form it has acquired in the late eighteenth century. Then was produced the remake of all the interiors.
