Nerudova (or Neruda Street, named after the poet Jan Neruda, 1834-1891) is one of the most beautiful sections of the Coronation Route (Královská cesta) connecting the Old Town to the upper reaches of Hradčany, the castle quarter. Lined with remarkable façades, it has become a point of interest in its own right. You can also see the Baroque-style building U tří housliček (At the Three Fiddles), the vast Morzin Palace and Thun-Hohenstein Palace (1725), now home to the Italian Embassy.
