Morzin Palace, Baroque palace in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic.

The Morzin Palace stands on Nerudova Street with a distinct facade featuring two columns shaped like chained Moors at its entrance.

Architect Jan Santini Aichel constructed the palace between 1713 and 1714 for the Morzin family, who retained ownership until 1881.

The palace exemplifies Czech Baroque architecture with its symmetrical design, ornate decorations, and classical architectural elements across two floors.

While the interior remains closed to visitors as it functions as the Romanian Embassy, the exterior can be viewed during a walk through Malá Strana.

The columns at the entrance create a visual word play, as the Moor figures relate to the Morzin family name in Czech pronunciation.
