Website | EmailThis exquisite sixteenth-century pavilion is known by several names—the Royal Summer Palace, Queen Anne's Summer Palace ("Letohrádek královny Anny"), and Belvedere. A renaissance-era building dating from somewhere between 1548 and 1560, it was built for Anne by Ferdinand I (he commissioned the Genoese architect Paolo della Stella for the project). It is located at the far end of the Royal Gardens to the north of the Prague Castle, and is now an art gallery and exhibition centre. Nearby is the Singing Fountain (Zpivijici fontana), so named because of the melodious sound of water cascading into the fountain's metal bowls.
