The Štefánik Observatory is located in the very heart of Prague, in Petřín´s parks at the Hunger Wall which was built during the reign of Charles IV in the 14th century.


The observatory was opened on June 24th, 1928. In the middle of the 70s, a full-scale reconstruction gave the building its current appearance and it was reopened for the public in 1976. Since 1979 the Štefánik observatory is a part of the Observatory and Planetarium of Prague.Nowadays the observatory specializes above all in popularization of astronomy and related natural sciences. Doubtless the most interesting thing the observatory can offer are public day and night observations of the sky which are run whenever the weather is suitable during the whole year.
