Toskánský palác, Baroque palace in Hradčany, Czech Republic.

The palace comprises four three-story wings arranged around an enclosed courtyard with an ornate facade at the main entrance on Hradčanské náměstí.

The palace site started with burghers' houses in the 1350s before Count Lobkowicz acquired it in the 1650s and Count Michael Oswald von Thun in 1685.

The attic features seven sandstone statues created by Jan Brokoff between 1689 and 1691, representing the Liberal Arts in classical academic tradition.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs occupies the palace, which opens to visitors exclusively during specific events at Loretánské náměstí 5 in Prague.

French architect Jean Baptiste Mathey collaborated with Italian Giacomo Antonio Canevalle to design two pavilions connected by a terrace with decorative elements.
