The Fassati Art Festival is an art project that offers a unique blend of experiences, encompassing music, fine arts, architecture, design, epicurean delicacies, emotions, and interpersonal harmony.
The main idea of the festival was prepared by the beautiful soprano Markéta Fassati, who guarantees the festival’s uniqueness.
The 2026 Gala evening took place at the Martinick Palace on Hradčanské náměstí, close to Prague Castle. A beautiful Renaissance palace.
Martinic Palace on the Hradčany square is one of the most beautiful late-Renaissance palaces in Prague; it was originally built in two stages separated by approximately eighty years, in 1550–1630, when a couple of older Gothic houses were expanded and rebuilt. In the second half of the 14th century, four Gothic buildings used to stand where the palace is today. One of them was owned by the famous chronicler Benesch of Weitmile, who was commissioned by Charles IV. to oversee the construction of St. Vitus Cathedral. Another house was occupied by Lady Ofka, Queen Elizabeth’s lady-in-waiting. According to legends, she sometimes appears after midnight, accompanied by a burning dog.
