Which Baroque buildings are among Prague’s major architectural treasures?

Prague is renowned for its diverse architectural heritage, which includes significant examples of Baroque architecture. Among the city's major treasures in this style is the Palace of the Archbishop at Hradčany.1

Originally a 16th-century Renaissance structure, the palace underwent a major reconstruction in the Baroque style during the second half of the 17th century, designed by the architect Jean-Baptiste Mathey. Later, in the 18th century, the building was further enhanced with a Late Baroque facade designed by Johann Joseph Wirch, which incorporates elegant symmetrical elements and Rococo embellishments.1

While Prague features a vast array of buildings spanning Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance periods, the Palace of the Archbishop stands out as a primary example of the city's evolution into the Baroque era.1
