As soon as the sun comes out Charles Bridge - which leads to the Lesser Quarter - fills with people out for a stroll, with street painters and musicians who want to make some money off the tourists. It is a charming sight, but it is no longer the real thing. The old atmosphere of the Lesser Quarter, when artists and painters actually lived there, is long gone. I talked to Josef Stulc, chief conservationist at the State Institute for Preservation of Historical Monuments about how the Lesser Quarter has changed in the last hundred years or so. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/mala_strana_strechy1.jpg?timestamp=1590270057 https://english.radio.cz/transformation-pragues-lesser-quarter-8073461 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
