Czech crown jewels on display at Prague Castle starting today

The Czech crown jewels are now on display in the Vladislav Hall at Prague Castle until the end of September. This year’s exhibition, titled "The Mysterious Power of Stones," includes a holographic animation showing the gemstones on the crown at the time of Charles IV’s coronation in 1347. Visitors can view the jewels for free, though no tickets or reservations are available in advance. The exhibit also features the royal scepter, orb, and other regalia. President Petr Pavel has made the display an annual event to celebrate the feast of St. Wenceslas on September 28.
