Wenceslas Square has played, and still does play, a major role in the heritage of Prague. Designed as more of a boulevard than a square, it is named after Saint Wenceslas the patron saint of Bohemia and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A Walk Through Prague’s Old Town Square
Old Town Square, or Staromestske, dates back 600 or 700 years, originating in the late 12th century when locals used the area as the central marketplace of the city. Since then, the market has grown into a bustling commerce center filled with nearby restaurants, shops, cafés, churches, and other stops.
