Jiřího z Poděbrad Square
We will start our trip through Prague 3 in náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad (Jiřího z Poděbrad Square) which is located close to Vinohradská street. The square is formed by a park with a church tower of the church Nejsvětějšího Srdce Páně (Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord) raising in its middle.

Náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad (Jiřího z Poděbrad Square)
Náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad stretches along Vinohradská street in Prague 3. The square was founded in 1896 and until 1948 it was called námětí krále Jiřího (King George Square). It got its current name náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad in 1948. The square is currently surrounded by houses and there are even several entrances that lead into a metro vestibule of line A – Jiřího z Poděbrad station.
The largest area is occupied by park
There used to be gardens in the past where we are standing now which in the 19th and 20th century turned into an urban park. The park currently occupies the main area of the square. The park went through an extensive reconstruction between 2001-2003 during which the green space was completely revitalized and new trees were planted and the park was newly paved and therefore became a suitable place for hiking. Yet the park is not the only view point of Jiřího z Poděbrad Square. Greatest attention belongs to the local sacred monument which due to its unusual appearance attracts every passer-by.
Kostel Nejsvětějšího Srdce Páně (Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord)
It is a parish church Nejsvětějšího Srdce Páně. The church was built between 1929 – 1932 based on a project of a noted architect Josip Plečnik. We learned about this architect already during our walks through the Prague Castle Premises. The church was built in a very specific style – in modernist neoclassicism. It is used by Roman-Catholic Church these days. The church tower is remarkable, it raises over forty meters high. In the square tower which is closed by a huge copper dome and a tall cross at its top there are six bells inside. You can notice the glassed-in clock in wider parts of the tower whose dial has nearly eight meters in diameter.

You can also spot a stone fountain in the park which is located in the south-west part of the square, not far from the metro exit. It is a fountain by sculptor Šedivý which was made according to a design of Hana Hübschmannová. The park is currently used especially for walking and also for relax. You can take a rest for instance close to the church on one of the benches. The park also serves as shortcut for pedestrians which shortens the way between the individual backstreets of the square.
