Wrestling Titans, Baroque sculptures at Prague Castle entrance, Czech Republic
The Wrestling Titans consist of two enormous stone figures positioned on bulky square columns at the first courtyard gateway of Prague Castle.
Created in 1768 during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, these sculptures stand alongside a Rococo railing and a gold-coated wrought arch with a royal crown.
The sculptures represent physical combat between mythological figures, reflecting the traditional role of castles as defensive strongholds throughout European history.
Visitors can access the sculptures by entering through the main gate of Prague Castle, where they form part of the standard castle tour route.
The statues cast different shadows across their detailed surfaces throughout the day, making them particularly notable subjects for photography after sunset.
