This was where the money was. For centuries, the Italian Court was the centre of the country’s economic power boasting both the royal mint and home to the king when he came visiting the silver mines. The beginning of the Italian Court is believed to be at the end of the 13th century, when it served as the town castle. During the 14th century, the castle was gradually rebuilt into a mint. However, the greatest boom in construction activities did not take place until the end of the 14th century under the reign of King Wenceslas IV.
