The ancient city of Prague can boast some of the most magnificent palaces in all Europe. Built between the Middle Ages and the nineteenth century, and spanning diverse architectural styles - from Gothic to Rococo, from Baroque to Neoclassical - these palaces are beautifully photographed and their history explored in this important new book. Perhaps most impressive of all is Prague Castle, a vast fortified bastion, built around the soaring High Gothic Cathedral of St Vitus and embracing not only the Royal Palaces but also several mansions of the Bohemian and Austrian nobility.
The story of the palaces of Prague tells us much about the history of Central Europe. With 164 large full-colour ilustrations and a richly informed text, this book will appeal to those with an interest in history of art and architecture, and to the many visitors to Prague.
