Municipal House is one of the best-known art deco building in Prague. It is located on the square of the Republic next to the Powder Gate in the Prague centre.

The Royal Court palace used to be located on the site of the Municipal House. From 1383 until 1485, it was the residence of the King of Bohemia. After 1485, it was abandoned and finally demolished in the early 20th century. Construction of the current building started in 1905 and opened in 1912.

The Municipal House was the location of the Czechoslovak declaration of independence in 1918 – we celebrate 100-year anniversary of the declaration of the independent Czechoslovakia on 28th October this year. Its exterior is decorated in allegorical art and stucco. There is a mosaic called Homage to Prague by over the entrance. On either side are allegorical sculpture groups representing The Degradation of the People and The Resurrection of People. Smetana Hall serves as a concert hall and ballroom. It has a glass dome. It houses artwork by Alfons Mucha, Jan Preisler and Max Švabinský.

Today, the building is used mainly as a concert hall, ballroom, civic building, and includes cafes and restaurants. Many of the rooms in the building are closed to the public and open only for guided tours.

We are glad to invite you for the national evening right to this beautiful building to enable you to admire not only its architecture and decoration but also typical Czech cuisine complemented with the performance of the national musicians.

Rudolph Gallery is one of the representative hall of the Prague Castle, located on the second Courtyard.
The Gallery is  neighbouring with the Spanish Hall, which is the most impressive representation room in the Prague Castle premises. It was built by O. Aostalis according to plans of G. Gargioli at the end of the 16th century to store large collections of paintings, artefacts and various rare objects in the possession of Rudolph II . The gallery walls used to be smooth so that they could hold as many paintings as possible, but in the second half of the 19th century they were adorned with rich stucco decorations. At present it is used for special  events. It is not open for visitors on a daily basis , only at special occasions as for instance the State Holiday is.
