<p>The ancient city of Prague can boast some of the most magnificent palaces in all Europe. Built between the Middle Ages and the nineteenth century, and spanning diverse architectural styles - from Gothic to Rococo, from Baroque to Neoclassical - these palaces are beautifully photographed and their history explored in this important new book. Perhaps most impressive of all is Prague Castle, a vast fortified bastion, built around the soaring High Gothic Cathedral of St Vitus and embracing not only the Royal Palaces but also several mansions of the Bohemian and Austrian nobility.<br>The story of the palaces of Prague tells us much about the history of Central Europe. With 164 large full-colour ilustrations and a richly informed text, this book will appeal to those with an interest in history of art and architecture, and to the many visitors to Prague.</p>
