Changing of the Guard returns to Prague Castle

After a nearly seven-week hiatus, the daily changing of the guard ceremony has resumed at the Gate of Giants at Prague Castle. The gate had been closed since July 8 due to the replacement of security posts, which required archaeological research. During the closure, the ceremonial guard was replaced by performances from the Castle Guard Band. The Gate of Giants, the main entrance to the castle, is notable for its statues of battling giants, originally crafted by Ignác František Platzer in the 1770s and later replaced by replicas in 1921.
