Malá Strana
M
ALÁ STRANA, NOW KNOWN AS THE “LITTLE QUARTER”
, was originally
called the New Town, a century before Charles IV moved that name
across the river
(see pp104-13)
. Floods, fires and war kept construction busy
on the Vltava's left bank; few of the original Romanesque and Gothic buildings
remain. During the Habsburgs' reign, grand palaces were built in Baroque
style, but these went to ruin when the nobility left;
modern developers are attempting to restore them.
Today, the area is an enclave of parks, cafés,
winding streets and unassuming churches.
