Namesti Republiky - Prague, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

Square of the Republic is situated in the area between crossroad at the Powder Gate and Revolucní Avenue. Since 17th century the southern part was called Hybernské Square, after the popular term Hybernové, who were Irish monks-Franciscans, who came to Prague in the period after the Battle of the White Mountain and they built a monastery there. At that time the northern part of the square was called Joseph’s or Capuchin Square. That was because a monastery of monks-Capuchins, founded in 1630, and church of St Joseph were in that place. During 1916-1919 it was called the Square of Franz Joseph I. During 1919-1940 the name Square of the Republic was valid, in the memory of foundation of the Czechoslovak Republic in October 1918. During German occupation the square was called Hybernské, and since 1945 it has been the Square of the Republic again.
