Illustration
  • Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
  • When: June 15, 2022, 19:00 – 21:00

The priestess Libuše “saw a large city” but it was only a century ago – in 1922 – that Greater Prague was born on the basis of three laws issued in 1920. Then Prague was joined to 37 suburbs, near and far, and became one territorial and administrative unit. Several generations of Prague politicians worked to create this agglomeration. Which names were associated with this change? What were the advantages of creating Greater Prague, and what problems did it bring? Guests will include Milan Hlavačka from the Institute of Czech History at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts and Hana Svatošová, one of the creators of an exhibition on Greater Prague.

Jan Kalous will moderate.
