    You are right, the building in the picture was the residence of one (1) royal (Rudolph II) because it dates to the 16th century. The dozens of Přemyslid kings may have lived at the same location but their 10th century buildings didn’t survive. You never said anything incorrect, I’m just saying that the post seems to overstate the importance of the building. When asked what the presidents’ (and past royals’) Czech residence is, most Czechs will correctly say “Prague Castle” but will not be able to point at the specific building (Southern Wing, 3rd courtyard). This is not even where major state events happen, that would be Vladislav Hall nearby…

        That’s true but a vaulted throne room is also understandably not what a 21st century president chooses as their everyday workplace.

                It’s you who switched from “place” (post title) to “palace” (last comment)

                The place [of residence] is the singular building you posted a shitty pic of and it’s mid. I’ll give you that, and yes, it’s the closest existing building here to what could be called a “royal place”.

                The palace includes the St Vitus Cathedral and if you call the whole largest-in-world complex “mid” in our country, you get slapped in the face
