Václavském

Václavském is a locality in the Czech Republic, most commonly referring to Václavské náměstí, which translates to Wenceslas Square. This is a prominent public space in the New Town (Nové Město) of Prague, the capital city. Historically and culturally, Wenceslas Square is one of the most significant locations in Prague. It has served as a site for demonstrations, celebrations, and pivotal moments in Czech history, including the proclamation of Czechoslovakia in 1918 and the events of the Velvet Revolution in 1989.

The square is a long, boulevard-like space, lined with shops, hotels, restaurants, and offices. It is named after Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia. The National Museum, an imposing Neo-Renaissance building, stands at the upper end of the square, serving as a landmark and a repository of Czech history and natural science. The equestrian statue of Saint Wenceslas by Josef Václav Myslbek is a central feature. Wenceslas Square is a major hub for both tourists and locals, a vibrant center of commerce and social activity, and a constant reminder of Prague's rich past and dynamic present.
