The New Town (Nove Mesto) in Prague
The New Town (Nove Mesto) was founded by Charles IV in 1348 on a well constructed urban plan. The New Town spread around three large squares with three different markets: the hay market in Senovazne Square, the livestock market in Charles Square and the horse fair in Wenceslas Square.
The new urban area was twice the size of the Old Town and those who lived there were chiefly blacksmiths, brewers and merchants. Today the focus of the New Town is the so-called “Golden Cross”, a kind of large T-shape formed by Wenceslas Square and Nàprikopè and Nàrodni Streets: a busy area at any time of day or night with its restaurants, shops and hotels which make it a commercial centre ideal for shopping or any kind of purchase and, at night, the liveliest place in the whole city.
