The New Town (Czech: Nové Město) is a quarter in the city of Prague in the Czech Republic. New Town is the youngest and most prominent of the five independent (from the Middle Ages until 1784) towns that today comprise the historic center of modern Prague. New Town was founded in 1348 by Charles IV just outside the city walls to the east and south of the Old Town and encompassed an area of 7.5 km², about three times the size of the Old Town. The population of Prague in 1378 was well over 40,000, perhaps as much as twice that, making it the 4th most populated city north of the Alps and, by area, the 3rd largest city in Europe. Although New Town can trace its current layout to its construction in the 14th century, only a few churches and administrative buildings survive. There are many secular and educational buildings in New Town and especially magnificent gothic and baroque churches. These, nevertheless, are not the main drawing points for tourists. New Town's most famous landmark is Wenceslas Square, originally built as a horse market and now functions as a center of commerce and tourism. In the 15th century, the Novoměstská radnice, or New Town Hall, was the site of the first of the three defenestrations of Prague.

The Prague General University Hospital, based on Charles Square, owes its birth to Emperor Joseph II. His majesty soon after his ascension to the throne - in 1781 - issued so-called directive rules in which health institutions were built. General hospitals were to care for the poor. In nursing homes, they had to give birth to poor women. The hospital was also supposed to be found, orphanages, sickness for the poor, chronically ill patients, and madhouse. The first hospital was opened in Vienna, then in Brno and Olomouc. The hospital's opening in Prague struggled with financial and legal problems connected with creating a unified endowment fund from abolished monasteries, unsatisfactory hospitals, poorhouses, and others. These funds were supposed to cover the hospital's operation. Specific negotiations on the establishment of health institutes started in 1785. The highest health officer in the Czechia, photomedicine T. Bayer and builder FL Herget, professor, and director of the Prague Polytechnic, played an important role. The original proposals included the placement of the hospital in the monastery and prelature on Karlov, the maternity hospital in the capitular house of St. Apolliner, the madhouse, and sickness to the former monastery of St. Kateřiny. However, there was little water on Charles, so other solutions were sought. In 1786, Herget and Bayer designed the constitutions in today's US. Republic. The hospital was supposed to be on the premises of the Strahov Premonstratensians near Sts. Benedict is a maternity hospital and madhouse in the former Capuchin Monastery at St. Josefa. Emperor Joseph II intervened after arduous negotiations and looking for space to build a hospital. In October 1786, he visited Prague. He pointed out the little-used building of the New Town Institute of Noblewomen at St. Angels at the then Cattle Market (today's Charles Square). At the end of 1786 and the beginning of 1787, the location of the hospital began to be considered, and in April 1787, Herget submitted reconstruction projects. On September 18, 1788, a paper with instructions for the organization of poor health care was sent from Vienna. The material counted on the location of the hospital and the madhouse at the Cattle Market. The memorandum also contained requirements for modifications to the Institute of Noblewomen for Health Care. Reconstruction started in 1789. The rebuilding of the hospital was costly. Soon after the opening, renovations and extensions were launched, which is still in progress. In addition, neighboring buildings were gradually purchased.
