Toskánský palác, Baroque palace in Hradčany, Czech Republic.

Toskánský palác is a Baroque structure in Prague's Hradčany district composed of four three-story wings arranged around an internal courtyard. The main facade facing Hradčanské náměstí displays ornate architectural details and decorative work.

A first stone house here is recorded in 1350; the larger house burned in the 1541 fire that destroyed Hradčany and Malá Strana. Count Michael Osvald Thun-Hohenstein began the Baroque palace before 1690 on the site of smaller houses, but died before completion. In 1718 Grand Duchess Anna Marie Františka of Tuscany bought the unfinished building, had it finished, and gave the palace its name.

The palace is named after Anna Marie Františka, Grand Duchess of Tuscany, who bought the unfinished building from the Thuns in 1718 and had it completed. On the attic, seven statues by Jan Brokoff from the left represent Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric, Astronomy, Arithmetic, Music and Geometry. In the corner towards Loretánská street stands Archangel Michael with a flaming sword, patron of the first builder, by Ottavio Mosto.

The building currently serves as the Foreign Ministry and is open to visitors only during special events and public occasions. Check the schedule ahead of time to see when it might be accessible to the public.

The palace's design emerged from the collaboration between a French architect and an Italian architect who worked together on the project. The two pavilions they created are linked by a terrace featuring distinctive decorative details.
