Introduction

The Old Royal Palace is a palace of the Bohemian kings in history. The palace has undergone constructions and expansions by many kings, adding Gothic and Renaissance styles. The entire building is divided into three floors, the entrance being the high-ceiling Vladislav Hall, which is also the center of the entire palace. The upper-level New Land Hall has many works by early painters and calligraphers, while the lower-level has the Gothic Charles IV Palace and the Romanesque-style hall. In the fire of 1541, most of the rooms were destroyed, and some were later rebuilt as remnants. The palace is located at the entrance of Court No.3 of Prague Castle, and there is a unique changing of guards ceremony every hour.
