Lesser Town of Prague (
visit link) [CZ: Malá Strana] is a district of the city of Prague and one of its most historic part. In the Middle Ages, it was a dominant center of the ethnic German citizens of Prague. It also housed a large number of noble palaces while the right-bank towns were comparatively more bourgeois and more Bohemian Czech.
A place known as Petikostelní square or street. In the background above of painting you can see Prague Castle.
=========================================================
Místo známé pod jménem Petikostelní námestí ci Petikostelní ulice. Dnes z cásti patrí pod Valdštejnského námestí, z cásti ulice U Zlaté studne. Název Petikostelní nevznikl podle peti kostelu, jak by se dalo ocekávat, ale podle domu s názvem U Peti kostelu.
