Stone Bell House, Gothic art gallery in Old Town Square, Czech Republic
The Stone Bell House presents a restored Gothic facade with medieval architectural elements, including intricate stone decorations and original painted wooden ceilings.
Built in the late 13th century as a royal residence for Elisabeth of Bohemia, the building remained hidden behind a Baroque facade until its restoration in 1975.
The building functions as an exhibition space for Prague City Gallery, displaying contemporary art collections and hosting concerts in its third-floor concert hall.
Located at Staroměstské náměstí 13, the gallery opens Tuesday through Sunday from 1 PM to 8 PM with regular admission at 200 CZK.
During reconstruction, workers discovered 13,000 stone decoration fragments, including statues of the royal family and a lion head with glass eyes.

Prague is known for its historic landmarks, but beyond the usual tourist routes lie numerous lesser-visited sites that offer deeper insight into the city's history and contemporary life. This collection takes you to neighborhoods, gardens and buildings often overlooked, revealing the layered past of Prague and its active cultural scene. Among the sites are the hilltop fortress of Vyšehrad with its historic cemetery, the baroque Vrtba Garden in Malá Strana, and Strahov Monastery with its impressive library. Kampa Park on Kampa Island offers quiet walks along the Čertovka Canal, while Speculum Alchemiae presents underground Renaissance-era laboratories. Troja Palace in the northern part of the city features baroque architecture and terraced gardens, and the Convent of St. Agnes houses medieval art collections. Other stops include Wallenstein Garden with its Renaissance arcades, the Letná beer garden overlooking the rooftops, and the former factory site of MeetFactory in Smíchov, now a cultural center. The National Technical Library in Dejvice and the rotating Kafka head sculpture on Národní třída represent contemporary Prague. From the Invalidovna fortress complex in Karlín to the Royal Game Reserve in Bubeneč, this collection provides varied perspectives on the Czech capital.
