Zvuky Prahy / Sounds of Prague

Construction site of a new shopping center Quadro, former Copa near the Metro Národní/National. Spálená has always been one of the main commercial streets of the New Town. According the visionary project of Charles the IVth. here should lead one of the crown paths where the kings procession would marched from the Prague Castle towards Vysehrad. Over the centuries the facades changed, but most of houses remained until the 70th of the last century, when the brutal clearing cut the entire quarter direction Vladislav street. A bleak place - not for nothing called National - is now the construction site of a new shopping center called Quadro. The builders dug to a depth of 24 meters and probably dredged out another part of the former Jewish cemetery. The hole is now already filled and several high cranes move across and from the pit emanate roars like if there would be the behemoth preparing to jump out.
