No other district of Prague suffered as much during the floods, and local people are still having to get by without shops, restaurants or public transport. Two houses in Karlin collapsed and others had to be demolished due to the structural damage caused by the floods. Some unfortunate residents are still awaiting a decision on the fate of their homes. Ian Willoughby recently took a very interesting stroll around Karlin with architect Martin Krise, who is a leading member of Klub Za Starou Prahu, which they translate as Club for Ancient Prague. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/karlin_kralovska_trida.jpg?timestamp=1591414177 https://english.radio.cz/karlin-a-prague-quarter-a-fascinating-history-8066661 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
