This is my favorite shot of the lighting fixtures in the Presidentska Palac.

I like the alignment of this room, also one of the newer rooms in the palace, so I shot a few pictures with the lighting fixtures playing a prominent role.

This is one of the newer sections of the palace, dating to the late 1940s. The statue is of Jan Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia.

Most of the rooms in the Prezidentska Palac are very large, and this means that, today as historically, it is often used for major state gatherings and functions. Generally, you have to arrange tours, as security rules require it. We luckily had the right connections since we were students at the university, which is still a state institution.

The Prezidentska Palac, or Presidential Palace, of the Czech Republic is incorporated into the old royal palace in Prazky Hrad, the Prague castle. It isn't as old as the castle as a whole, and in fact is blatantly Baroque in most of its decorations. It has been renovated many, many times, though, and in addition to the considerable number of built-in sculptures and statues, like this one, it used to also house a large art gallery.
