Lonely Planet review

Hradčany Sq, before Prague Castle's main gates, is dominated by the striking black-and-white sgraffito façade of the 18th-century Schwarzenberg Palace (Schwarzenberský palác). From late 2007 this will house part of the National Gallery, although it's going to be hard to upstage the 3D optical illusion of its own exterior. The nearby Sternberg Palace already hosts National Gallery works by Breughel, Dürer, Goya, Rembrandt and Rubens.
