St. Longin's Rotunda

St. Longin's Rotunda (Prague, Na Rybníčku) (Czech: Rotunda svatého Longina) is one of the few preserved romanesque rotundas in Prague, in the Czech Republic. It was founded in the 12th century as a parish church for a village called "Rybníček" which was there before the founding of the Prague New Town in the middle of the 14th century. Originally, it was a Pagan temple before the arrival of Christianity, when it was transformed into a Catholic chapel. Up until the 14th century, it was consecrated to St Stephen, before Charles IV founded the New Town and changed the consecration to Saint Longinus, who was one of the men who took part in Jesus' crucifixion, and supposedly pierced the side of Jesus. Longinus came to deeply regret this action, causing him to desert the army and become a hermit, later leading to his arrest and execution. The rotunda was nearly demolished in the 19th century while the nearby street (Na Rybníčku) was being built, but it was saved by František Palacký.

New Town, Prague

New Town (Czech: Nové Město) is a quarter in the city of Prague in the Czech Republic. New Town is the youngest and largest of the five independent (from the Middle Ages until 1784) towns that today comprise the historic center of modern Prague. New Town was founded in 1348 by Charles IV just outside the city walls to the east and south of the Old Town and encompassed an area of 7.5 km2; about three times the size of the Old Town. The population of Prague in 1378 was well over 40,000, perhaps as much as twice that, making it the 4th most populated city north of the Alps and, by area, the 3rd largest city in Europe. Although New Town can trace its current layout to its construction in the 14th century, only few churches and administrative buildings from this time survive. There are many secular and educational buildings in New Town, but also especially magnificent gothic and baroque churches. These nevertheless are not the main drawing points for tourists. New Town's most famous landmark is Wenceslas Square, which was originally built as a horsemarket and now functions as a center of commerce and tourism. In the 15th century, the Novoměstská radnice, or New Town Hall, was the site of the first of the three defenestrations of Prague.
