A multi-thousand march of university students heading to Prague Castle in support of president Benes and his efforts to preserve freedom and democracy, was brutally attacked by armed communist police at this place and in Hracany Square. In Memory of the brave studens who, at the fateful moments of this nation, were not afraid of opposing incoming lawlessness.
The Prague Academic Club 48 - The Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic"
Malá Strana (German: Prager Kleinseite) is a district of the city of Prague, Czech Republic, and one of its most historic regions. The name translated into English literally means "Little Side", though it is frequently referred to as "Lesser Town", "Lesser Quarter", or "Lesser Side". This name derives from its position on the left (west) bank of the river Vltava, on the slopes just below the Prague Castle, in opposition to the larger towns of Prague on the right bank, to which it is conjoined by the Charles Bridge.
In the Middle Ages, it was a dominant centre of the ethnic German (and since 16th century also Italian) citizens of Prague. It also housed a large number of noble palaces while the right-bank towns were comparatively more bourgeois and more Bohemian Czech.
