Clam-Gallas Palace was built by Italian architect Domenico Canevale in 1713. This palace used to be the palace where balls and concerts were held in the 18th century, attended by Mozart and Beethoven. The interior of this magnificent Baroque building has been lovingly restored. The two pairs of Hercules statues by Matthia Bernard Braun on the grand portals give a feel of what lies within. The main staircase also has Braun statues and is set off by a ceiling fresco, The Triumph of Apollo by Carlo Carlone. The palace now houses the Archives of Prague and generally is not open to the public.
