Clam-Gallas Palace, Baroque palace in Old Town, Czech Republic

The four-wing Baroque building features a central square courtyard and two entrance portals adorned with sculptures created by Matyáš Bernard Braun's workshop.

Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach designed this residence between 1713 and 1718 for Count Johann Wenzel von Gallas, incorporating several existing buildings.

Italian painter Carlo Carlone decorated the ceremonial staircase with frescoes depicting ancient gods, including a 130-square-meter ceiling painting of Helios's Triumph.

The palace provides guided tours from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:30, with visitors climbing 76 steps to explore the noble floor.

The building received multiple awards in the Building of the Year 2022 competition following an extensive renovation completed between 2017 and 2022.
