Today in our Prague 4k walking tour, we will continue to explore Old Town streets.

The Old Town of Prague (Staré Město) is a medieval settlement in Prague, Czech Republic. It was separated from the outside by a semi-circular moat and wall connected to the Vltava river at both ends. The canal is now covered up by the streets (from north to the south-west) Revoluční, Na Příkopě, and Národní—which remain the official boundary of the cadastral community of Old Town. It is now part of Prague 1.
Notable places in the Old Town include Old Town Square and Astronomical Clock. The New Town of Prague surrounds the Old Town. Across the river, the Vltava, connected by the Charles Bridge, is Prague's Lesser Town (Czech: Malá Strana). The former Jewish Town (Josefov) is located in the northwest corner of Old Town, heading towards the Vltava.
Charles Bridge connects Old Town with Lesser Town.
From its early existence, around the 9th century, Staré Město was laid out of settlements that appeared from the spacious marketplace on the bank of Vltava. Records dating back to 1100 AD indicate that a market was held on the marketplace every Saturday, and large military gatherings also took place there. Thanks to trade, the area's merchants became rich, and when King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia gave them the privileges of the township, the Town of Prague (Město pražské) was formed. According to ancient records, the city had around 13 gates and a vast moat, providing solid defenses.
In 1338, the councilors of the Old Town of Prague were granted permission by John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, to buy a magnificent patrician house from the family Volfin od Kamene (German: Wolfin von Stein) and rebuild it into their town hall – the still existing Old Town Hall. In the mid-14th century, the importance of the Old Town of Prague increased rapidly. Thanks to trade and craftsmanship, the city prospered and became one of the most important Central European metropoles. Its brilliance and fame grew when the Bohemian king Charles IV became the Roman Emperor in 1355. Quite suddenly, the attention of all medieval Europe was turned towards Prague, the residence of the head of the Holy Roman Empire. The original town hall was extended by a mighty square stone tower, a symbol of the power and pride of the town council of the first city in the Kingdom and Empire. In 1364 when it was completed, the tower was the highest in the city.
After the city was expanded in the 14th century by Charles IV with the founding of the New Town of Prague, the moat and wall were dismantled. In 1348, the University of Prague was founded by Charles IV. Since the late 14th century, its main seat has been in Carolinum, located in Prague's Old Town. In 1357, Charles IV commenced building a new bridge over the Vltava river connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town of Prague. In 1391, the Bethlehem Chapel was built in the Old Town for sermons in Czech. The chapel was essential in the Bohemian Reformation and the Hussite movement. In 1402–1413 the church reformer Jan Hus preached there.
