Explore The Old Royal Palace

The Old Royal Palace, also known as Starý královský palác in Czech, is a historic building located within Prague Castle.

Dating back to the 12th century, this palace showcases a mix of Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. Its iconic Vladislav Hall is used for important events like inaugurations and houses a replica of the Czech crown. It's basically a fancy spot with a lot of history and cool vibes.

Interesting facts

The Old Royal Palace holds within its walls the story of the Defenestration of Prague. This intriguing historical event occurred in 1618 when two Catholic Lords Regent and their secretary were thrown out of the windows of the palace, sparking the Thirty Years' War. This act of defiance is a pivotal moment in Czech history, illustrating the deep-rooted religious and political tensions of the era.
