Lesser Town Square

Malostranské namEsti, Lesser Town Square
Czech republic, Prague
The historical and modern center of the Lesser Town is the Lesser Town Square. The square received its current name only in 1869, until that time it was called the "Italian parade ground". "Platz" was the main market square - fairs were held there, trading shops worked, sometimes executions were carried out. After fires and historical upheavals, Malostranska Square acquired its modern appearance after the reconstruction of the 17th-18th centuries. This small square is surrounded on almost all sides by Renaissance palaces - Liechtenstein, Sternberg, Kaiserstein, Smirzhitsky, Gremlingofsky and Hartigofsky, and in its center stands the St. Mikulas Church and the house of the former Jesuit college attached to it. There is also the Lesser Town Hall, built at the end of the 15th century, and a plague column erected in 1715 from the statues of the Holy Trinity and the patrons of the Czech Republic.

The square has a large number of very beautiful buildings, and in its center is the magnificent Cathedral of St. Nicholas, one of the most famous cathedrals in Prague. The adjoining temple and the Jesuit College divide the square into lower and upper parts. Among the most interesting buildings in the lower part of the square are the Smyrzycki Palace, the Kaiserstein Palace, the Gremlinghof Palace and the Malostranska Town Hall. And in the upper part of Malostranska Square, the most interesting objects are the Liechtenstein Palace and the Plague Pillar.
