Palác pánů z Hradce, Renaissance palace in Malá Strana, Czech Republic.

Palác pánů z Hradce is the northern, older part of a palace complex on Zámecké schody, reached by a suspended enclosed bridge with an early Baroque portal dated 1678. Its street facade has three sections with tall Renaissance gables and partly sgraffito rustication; the central gable bears two alliance coats of arms, of Jáchym z Hradce with Anna z Rožmberka above and of Vilém Slavata with Lucie Otylie z Hradce below. Two courtyards have Renaissance inner facades.

The building was created in the 1550s through the reconstruction of two Gothic houses and received its current form after 1558 under architect Ulrico Aostalli. This transformation marked the shift from medieval to Renaissance architecture at this location.

The palace is named after the lords of Hradec, who acquired it in 1558 when Jáchym z Hradce bought it. On the central gable, two stone panels show the allied coats of arms of Jáchym and his wife Anna of Rožmberk above, and of Vilém Slavata and Lucie Otýlie of Hradec below.

The palace is located in Malá Strana on Zámecké Schody street and currently serves as the Italian Embassy. Since the building functions as an official diplomatic site, visitors should expect limited access to the interior.

Czech art nouveau painter Alfons Mucha lived in this building from 1911 to 1924 and left his artistic mark on the place. This connection with one of Bohemia's greatest artists adds an important chapter to the building's story.
