Karlovo náměstí (Charles‘ square) was briefly a major European Christian pilgrimage site after its foundation in 1354 . The main reason was the Emperor Charles IV who was noted for his passion of collecting holy relics. Every year during the Easter holiday, it was allowed to show the imperial crown jewels and relics of saints. These pilgrims were shown the relics from a wooden tower, which was rebuilt annually for this purpose . At the end of the 14th century, the wooden structure was replaced by the stone Gothic chapel of Corpus Christi, but had was demolished in 1791 by Josef II in hiss reforms as unnecessary-. In Today’s form, Charles Square is largely shaped as a the park design.
