SOCIAL EVENTS

 
The Czech evening will be held in the Žofín Palace which is situated in the heart of Prague on the Slovanský Island. The Žofín Palace is a neo-renaissance building constructed in honour of archduchess Sofie, mother of the emperor Franz Josef I. The Žofín Palace received its current form in 1885-87 thanks to Jindřich Fialka's design. The 1930s added a garden restaurant and a musical pavilion to the Palace. In 1992-94, this cultural landmark was reconstructed according to Tomáš Santavský's atelier's project. Since the middle of the last century, Žofín has been a cultural centre of Prague. Nowadays, significant cultural and social events of international importance take place there and the Žofín Palace thus continues in its rich tradition.
