Šternberský palác, Baroque palace in Hradčanské Square, Czech Republic

Sternberg Palace stands with four wings arranged around a square courtyard, featuring a cylindrical front that extends into a western garden.

Count Vaclav Vojtech from Sternberk initiated the construction between 1699 and 1708 on a site that previously contained Gothic and Renaissance structures.

The National Gallery Prague displays early Italian art, Renaissance paintings, and Dutch masterpieces from the 15th to 18th centuries within the palace walls.

The palace functions as an exhibition space with paid admission, requiring visitors to check current schedules and ticket information on the National Gallery website.

A monumental bronze statue depicting a lion crushing a boa snake, created by French artist Antoin-Louis Bary, occupies the center of the palace courtyard.
