The facade of the Italian Embassy

The Embassy of Italy in Prague (Czech: Italské velvyslanectví v Praze, Italian: Ambasciata d'Italia a Praga) is located on Nerudova street in Mala Strana, Prague, next door to the church of Our Lady of Caetans and opposite the Romanian Embassy.

It occupies the large Thun-Hohenstein Palace, which is named after the Thun und Hohenstein family. The embassy's baroque facade features a doorway guarded by two carved eagles.
