Prague has approved nearly CZK 46.5 million in funding for the preservation of historical landmarks and cultural assets, as part of a broader effort to protect the city’s heritage and support the arts.
The city council reviewed 141 applications and approved 84 projects for funding.
These include 51 immovable heritage sites, 21 church-owned properties, and 12 movable monuments. The remaining 57 applications were declined.
Among the supported projects is the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul at Vyšehrad, which will receive CZK 2.5 million towards a roof reconstruction. The overall cost of the work is estimated at CZK 9 million.
Another grant will go to the Hlahol singing association, which has been awarded more than CZK 1 million for renovations, including window replacements at its historic headquarters on Masaryk Embankment.
Looking ahead to 2026, Prague plans to invest CZK 420 million in cultural initiatives.
Part of that funding will go toward events marking the 90th anniversary of Václav Havel’s birth, with dedicated support for projects honouring the former president and playwright.
The city will also fund Prague’s participation in the Frankfurt Book Fair, one of the largest international events in the literary calendar.
