The conference ’Looking for Leisure: Court Residences and their Satellites, 1400–1700 will take place 5–7 June 2014 in the Academic Conference Center Husova 4a, Prague 1, 110 00. The aim of the conference is to draw attention to small buildings in residential complexes – small only in size but not in importance. We will study the relationship of the palazzotto to European palaces and examine their function as pendants but also counterparts to the large palatial buildings. The idea of a small palace usually made it possible to develop certain ideological programs that would have been difficult to achieve with only the large palace.
