As it was then. Vinohrady rises above the Old and New Towns. Its name simply means The Vineyards, and once its slopes were covered with Royal vines - appropriately facing the Castle crowning the hill on the other side of the river. The Prussians bombarded from here in the 1750s, proving once and for all that artillery had rendered the town walls redundant. Soon after they were demolished and Prague started to move up the hill, and by the later nineteenth century Vinohrady was being developed. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/farewell-vinohrady-8613737 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
