Marché de Vinohrady

Le marché de Vinohrady (en tchèque : Vinohradská tržnice), est un marché couvert de Prague. Appelé Pavillon depuis 1994, c'est un bâtiment historique du début du XXe siècle situé dans le quartier pragois de Vinohrady.

1. Histoire

Une usine de machines de moulin se trouvait à l'origine sur le site du marché. La ville de Královské Vinohrady, qui n'a été intégrée à la Grande Prague qu'en 1922, a fait construire par l'architecte Antonín Turk un marché couvert d'une centaine d'étals pour la vente de nourriture. Le bâtiment moderne, ouvert en 1903, combinant des parties en briques avec un toit sur une structure en treillis d'acier, était équipé de la climatisation. Le marché a été fermé dans les années 1980 et incendié en 1986. Grâce au Club pour le vieux Prague, la démolition a été évitée et le bâtiment a été déclaré monument culturel. Le bâtiment est alors adapté en grand magasin. Après la reconstruction, une boutique spécialisée dans le mobilier design moderne a été ouverte ici lors de l'exposition Designblok en 2013. La reconstruction a reçu le prix de la boutique de l'année Czech Grand Design.

Vinohrady

Vinohrady (until 1960 Královské Vinohrady, in English literally "Royal Vineyards" German: Königliche Weinberge) is a cadastral district in Prague. It is so named because the area was once covered in vineyards dating from the 14th century. Vinohrady lies in the municipal and administrative districts of Prague 2 (west part), Prague 3 (north-east part) and Prague 10 (south-east part), little parts also of Prague 1 (Prague State Opera and Federal Assembly of Czechoslovakia) and Prague 4 (near Nusle). Between 1788–1867 it was called Viničné Hory (Vineyard Mountains). From 1867 to 1968 it was called Královské Vinohrady ("Royal Vineyards"). In 1875, Královské Vinohrady was divided into two parts, Královské Vinohrady I and Královské Vinohrady II, the part I was renamed to Žižkov and the part II to Královské Vinohrady in 1877. In 1922 Královské Vinohrady was made part of Prague as district XII. In 1949, the west part was conjoined with Prague 2 and the east part remain separate district Prague 12. In 1960, when Prague's divisions were reduced from 16 to 10 administrative districts, the north part of Prague 12 was conjoined with Žižkov into Prague 3 and the south part was joined to Prague 10. Local patriots say that the real reason was that Královské Vinohrady was known as a "bourgeois" district and thus politically unreliable for the then-ruling Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. The historic part of Prague Main Railway Station (open 1871 as Franz Joseph I Station) is situated at the margin of Vinohrady. City Electric Tramway of Královské Vinohrady (1897) were a base of the Prague net of municipal electric tramway.

Náměstí Míru (Prague Metro)

Náměstí Míru (Czech pronunciation: [ˈnaːmɲɛsciː ˈmiːru], English: Peace Square) is a Prague Metro station on Line A. It is located in Vinohrady district under Korunní Street and has one exit through an escalator tunnel with a sub-surface vestibule under the plaza of the same name. The exit of the metro station is in the immediate vicinity of the Church of St. Ludmila and Vinohrady Theatre. The station was completed along with the first section of Line A, between Leninova and Náměstí Míru, and opened on 12 August 1978. It served as a terminus until the extension of Line A to Želivského station on 19 December 1980. Náměstí Míru is the deepest station of the Prague Metro, its platform is situated 53 metres below surface. The station has the longest escalators in European Union (length 87 m, vertical span 43.5 m, 533 steps, taking 2 minutes and 21 seconds to ascend or 2 minutes 19 seconds to descend without walking). Náměstí Míru, however, is not the deepest point within the Prague Metro network; this record belongs to the tunnel between Hradčanská and Malostranská stations (68 m below surface). The station is named after the square under which it is located. During the 2002 European floods the station became the western terminus for its line, with trains running to Skalka. Náměstí Míru is intended to be part of the new Line D, with trains running between the station and C-line station Pankrác. The D-line station is intended to be built closer to the surface, meaning the existing station on the A-line will continue to be the deepest on the network.
