Platýz, Renaissance palace in Old Town, Czech Republic

Four wings of Platýz palace form a spacious inner courtyard with numerous entrances from both Národní třída and Uhelný trh streets.

The palace construction started in 1347 under Charles IV's reign, with Count Frederic of Burgundy establishing his residence on the site of three townhouses.

The palace underwent architectural changes through centuries, transforming from Gothic to Renaissance style under Jan Platejs, who served Emperor Rudolf II.

The building houses multiple retail establishments, restaurants, and cafes within its courtyard, accessible through several public passages.

A metal owl decoration marks the main gateway entrance, connecting the former coal market area to the modern commercial district.
