Guide

Welcome to one of the most interesting historical sites in Prague. You are standing before V jáma, a historic street on New Town, full of significant events and names reflecting its rich past. The street connects Vodičkova and Štěpánská streets and was established as early as the 14th century. Originally named 'V jáma' due to the surrounding terrain.

Let's move forward in time and look at what happened in the 15th century. At that time, the street name changed to 'V jamka' or 'Pod jama', which is another testament to the significant events that took place here.

Note that the street is full of architectural attractions. Take a look at the facades of the buildings located here. Some are evidence of Gothic or Renaissance architecture built during different periods in history.

Now, pay attention to the historical figures associated with this street. Although not many names are known, it is certain that important events occurred here that changed the course of Prague's history.

There is one interesting fact worth mentioning. In 1897, at the inn 'U Gabrielů', the Czech National Social Party was founded. This is another testament to V jáma being always a center of political and social happenings in Prague.

The invitation for further exploration of this historic street remains with you. I bid you farewell at V jáma, one of the most interesting sites in Prague.
