Classical music concert with a programme of works by B.Smetana, A.Dvořák and Fr.Schubert.


The enormous Clam-Gallas Palace in Husova (Jan Hus) Street in the Old Town straddles the crossroads of a vital medieval communication, also known as the Kings Road, which connected the Castle with the center of the Old Town, and an ancient highway leading to Vysehrad.

The location's significance is corroborated by the presence of a Romanesque homestead whose remnants, an ashlar masonry wall, have been preserved in the cellar of the current palace. The homestead included a church, later rebuilt in Gothic style, of the Holy Virgin at the Pond, whose spire, until 1791, used to be the dominant feature of the north end of today's Husova Street where the current Marianske (Saint Mary) Square now lies.
