" The lower part the Loretánská street is becoming wider and the Town Hall´s stairs are leading up to it. There are houses above the Town Hall, which are turning to the Loretánská street by their frontages. We are talking about these houses: The Dietrichsteinský (Dolinský) No. 174 and Dietrichsteinský (Dromsdorfský) No. 175. But above all it is the Kolowratský palace No. 176 and the Hrzánský palace No. 177, which serves to government of the Czech Republic for the prestige purposes. On the north it is also the Toskánský palace No. 182 turning to the street by its side facade. This palace has the corner statue of st. Michal from the sculptor Ottava Mosta from 1700. Above it is the Martinický palace No. 181, the baroque new building from the period of about 1700. Today there are barracks of the castle guard. On the west this space is enclosed by the Trautmannsdorfský palace No. 180, which its facade has the classicism appearance today.
There is also a big cast-iron lamp post standing from the original public gas lighting. It is the work of the sculptor Eduard Veselý and the architect Aleš Linsbauer from 1867. "
