Vlašské (Italian) Square - Prague, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

This card shows Vlašské (Italian) Square.

The name this square was derived from Italian merchants who had their stalls both in the open space and in the arcades of the burghers’ houses, particularly in the Rudolfinian time. From the left, Lindsbauer’s gas lamp-post, the newly installed Križík’s electric illumination post, the entire undulating front of St Nicholas’s Church, and the plague column from 1713-1715. Around the column are guard stones, to which horses were tied. They were moved here subsequently from various places in the Lesser Town. On the southern side of the square can be seen the fronts of two houses U Trí korunek (The Three Little Crowns), No. 260, and the Hartigovský (or Senftenberg) Palace, No. 259, with a passage to Tržište Street. (Originally, there were two Gothic houses here.) On the right is the Ledeburský or Lichtenštejnský Palace, at that time the Imperial Royal Provincial Military Headquarters.
