The Square is dominated by the neo-Gothic Cathedral of St Ludmila, built from 1888 to 1893 according to plans drawn by architect Josef Mocker and the Art Nouveau Vinohrady Theatre, dating to 1904-1907. Every year, náměstí Míru is the venue for many cultural and social events. The Neo-Gothic Church of St. Lyudmila is one of the dominant features of the Vinohrady district. It was built according to designs by Josef Mocker from 1888 to 1892. Two 60 m towers with two bells are like hands clasped in prayer. The church is a brick three-aisled basilica with a transept shaped like a cross. Its interior is lit by stained glass windows depicting figures of saints and richly decorated with sculptures and paintings. Vinohrady Theatre (Divadlo na Vinohradech) is a theatre in Vinohrady, Prague, which was built on 27 February 1905. https://goo.gl/maps/Eftj57uUkLdVHN3P9 Vinohrady (Royal Vineyards) is a cadastral district in Prague. It is so named because it was once covered in vineyards dating from the 14th century. Vinohrady lies in the municipal and administrative districts of Prague 2 (west part), Prague 3 (north-east part), and Prague 10 (south-east part), as well as in minor parts of Prague 1 (Prague State Opera and Federal Assembly of Czechoslovakia) and Prague 4 (near Nusle). Between 1788 and 1867, it was called Viničné Hory (Vineyard Mountains). From 1867 to 1968, it was called Královské Vinohrady ("Royal Vineyards"). In 1875, Královské Vinohrady was divided into two parts, Královské Vinohrady I and Královské Vinohrady II; part I was renamed Žižkov and part II to Královské Vinohrady in 1877. In 1922, Královské Vinohrady was made part of Prague as District XII. In 1949, the western part was conjoined with Prague 2, and the eastern part remained a separate district, Prague 12. In 1960, when the Prague division was reduced from 16 to 10 administrative districts, the north part of Prague 12 was conjoined with Žižkov into Prague 3, and the south part was joined to Prague 10. Local patriots say that the real reason was that Královské Vinohrady was known as a "bourgeois" district and thus politically unreliable for the then-ruling Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. https://goo.gl/maps/eLpMcGFVb9degz92A Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) This Square is the commercial and administrative centre of the city and the site of important social and historical events. You'll find cinemas, theatres, banks, hotels, restaurants, dozens of small and large shops, and administrative centres here. The Square was created when Charles IV founded the New Town in 1348. Today, it is dominated by the National Museum (1885 – 1891) and Josef Václav Myslbek's statue of the national patron, St Wenceslas, from 1912. https://goo.gl/maps/R3o7pbj6FeG7QVok6 My second channel:    / @driverelaxradio   Instagram:   / perceptionphilosophy   Recorded in 4k Perception Philosophy © 2025 July 29, 2025 Czech Republic
