Belvedere

Ferdinand I had this remarkable building built as the summer residence for his wife Queen Anne in the 16th century. The architect was Paolo della Stella.

In its garden you can find the Singing Fountain, designed and casted by Tomáš Jaros in 1564-68. The name derives from the melody produced by the water as it hits the basin.

Exhibitions take place here.

Address: Prazsky hrad
