Clam-Gallas Palác

Prague, Czechia

The Clam-Gallas Palace is a Baroque palace in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

Fischer von Erlach's original design

The palace was first designed by the imperial court architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, from Vienna. It was built in 1714–18 by the Italian architect Domenico Canevale. During the rest of the 18th century, balls and concerts were held in the palace, and they were attended by noteworthy artists including Mozart and Beethoven.

The palace was originally built for Count Johann Wenzel von Gallas, a Bohemian nobleman and diplomat. Subsequently, the Gallas family died out in 1757. At that point, the palace was inherited by Christian Philipp von Clam, son of Gallas' sister, which is how the Clam-Gallas family was created.
