Václavské náměstí 16/02/2028 14h46
After settling in at the hotel and taking a moment to relax, our second exploration of Prague began around 2:45 PM. Starting just outside our hotel; Václavské náměstí, or easier in English Weceslas Square.
Work is underway on the square, and the tram was supposed to return to the square in 2027. Trams haven't run here since the metro was built.
Václavské náměstí
Václavské náměstí, Wenceslas Square , is one of the main city squares and the centre of the business and cultural communities in the New Town of Prague, Czech Republic. Many historical events occurred there, and it is a traditional setting for demonstrations, celebrations, and other public gatherings. It is also the place with the busiest pedestrian traffic in the whole country. The square is named after Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia. It is part of the historic centre of Prague, a World Heritage Site.
Formerly known as Koňský trh (Horse Market), for its periodic accommodation of horse markets during the Middle Ages, it was renamed Svatováclavské náměstí (English: Saint Wenceslas square) in 1848 on the proposal of Karel Havlíček Borovský.
A reconstruction of the Wenceslas Square has been underway since 2020. The lower part was completed in 2023. Construction of the new upper part (from Vodičkova street) is to begin in June 2024. It will include wider sidewalks, tram tracks, bicycle paths, new alleys and reduction of the space dedicated to motor traffic. Full completion is scheduled for summer 2027.

Eerste Weteringdwarsstraat 31/01/2025 11h54
Street art Frankey gives the city small inconspicuous surprises. Sometimes quite large, sometimes very small. Every week a photo with one of his recent works appears in the supplement to the newspaper Het Parool. A great opportunity to take a closer look at his work. Sometimes you have to search to find it and sometimes it is already gone.
A left-over from Christmas 2024. Frankey installed a snowman over an orange flashing light in the Wetering neighbourhood.

Streetart Frankey

He grew up in Nijmegen, father was an inventor at Philips Netherlands. He studied at Delft University of Technology (Industrial design). In daily life director of and working for design collective Natwerk. In Amsterdam, many of his works in the street art category can be found on buildings, streets and bridges, often in addition to existing building elements. He himself about his work;
"I want to push boundaries. Art has no boundaries, that's why I like it so much."
In 2019, a special page has been dedicated to his art in Het Parool for a number of years; first he took care of that section himself, later he had to leave that work to others because of busy work. A little later his work Eberhard van der Laan appeared above the entrance of Paradiso.
One of the works that inspired him is the Boomzagertje in the Leidsebosje, a work by an as yet unknown artist.

Medina de Fès
The medina of Fez is a Moroccan medina, the historic heart of Fez, listed since 1981 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Fez el-Bali is the oldest district of Fez, founded between 789 and 808 by the Idrissids. In 1276, the medina was enlarged since the Merinids founded a new city in its own right which bears the name of Fez el-Jedid, to the west.
The medina of Fez unfolds on a fertile basin of the Saïss plain.
The medina of Fez is a component of the city of Fez which is an Idrisside city and the first capital of Morocco. It is the oldest of the imperial cities and remains the first Islamic city in the Kingdom.
At the origins of this medina, was Fez El Bali (the old) founded by the Idrissides (late 8th, early 9th), which developed around two cores on either side of the Oued Fez.
On the left bank, settled Adouât al Quaraouiyine who welcomed, in the ninth century, refugees from Kairouan, fleeing the Aghlabid dictatorship, and on the right bank, Adouat Al Andalous, who received Andalusian refugees driven out at the same time by the Umayyads of Cordoba.
