A new application will be implemented in the historical center of Prague Culture News Pražská Drbna
The Institute of Planning and Development has launched a new application that will acquaint users with the past of the Prague Monument Reserve buildings. Enthusiasts will still enjoy detailed information about monuments or unpublished historical maps.
The first application of its kind
“The application is such a wikipedia about Prague. Few cities have such a deep knowledge of what houses and what monumental value are located in its territory. I am very glad that so much valuable information from the archives has been digitized and made accessible to everyone who loves Prague“, He said Adam Scheinherr (Prague itself), Deputy Mayor for Transport and Monument Care.
With an area of 895 hectares, the historical center of Prague is one of the largest monument reserves in the world. The Prague Monument Reserve occupies practically the entire center of Prague – it stretches approximately from Florence to Vyšehrad and from Pohořelec to the main road.
The Historic City Center application is the first place where historical and current data about the territory and the objects themselves are together, which the user can immediately compare and filter according to what he is looking for. For example, you can search for individual buildings according to the building style, date of origin, or the architect who designed the building.
For enthusiasts and professionals alike
I also offer old zoning plans or current and archival views of the city. People can search for detailed information about where they live and see what the place looked like before, but this interactive map is also a material for students of art and architecture history, as well as for designers designing in the center of Prague.
“There is a huge number of sources about the historical center, but so far no one has systematically systematized the data of this key area of Prague. Lovers of Prague and its history will certainly appreciate the map application, which also contains hitherto unpublished historical maps“Said the director of the institute Ondřej Boháč.
