Clam-Gallas Palace
Clam-Gallas Palace is one of the best preserved Baroque palaces in the world. The current state of the palace is based on a major reconstruction by Jan Václav Gallas, who extended the original palace to include the surrounding grounds. The reconstruction, carried out between 1699 and 1700, was commissioned by the architect Mark Antonio Canevale. Between 1713 and 1718, further alterations were carried out according to the plans of Johann Bernard Fischer of Erlach. The painted decoration is by Carlo Carlone, the sculpture by The carving is by Matthias Bernard Braun.
The building is located on the so-called Royal Route in the neighbourhood of the Klementinum at Husova 158/20. The owner of the palace is the City of Prague, the Prague City Museum currently has on loan most of its premises.
