Náměstí Míru

Náměstí Míru 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. Náměstí Míru, however, is not the deepest point within the Prague Metro network; this record belongs to the tunnel between Hradčanská and Malostranská stations. 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.

Histoire

Le bâtiment a été construit en 1893-1894 selon le projet de l'architecte Antonín Turk. Le bâtiment a été créé à l'occasion de l'intégration de Královské Vinohrady à la ville de Prague en 1879. Une grande partie de l'architecture typique de Vinohrady des rues Francouzská, Anglikská et Bělehradská date également de cette période. Le centre urbain de la ville à cette époque était Purkyňovo náměstí (aujourd'hui Place de la Paix), c'est pourquoi le centre communautaire était situé ici. Les 9 au 11 avril 1898, le congrès fondateur du Parti national social tchèque s'y déroule. Le 22 mai 1921, la communauté légionnaire tchécoslovaque y est fondée. Après le coup d'État de Prague de février 1948, le bâtiment est tombé en ruine. En 1955, le bâtiment a été acquis en mauvais état par les Chemins de fer tchécoslovaques et est reconstruit (1959). Après la reconstruction, il s'appelait la Maison culturelle centrale des cheminots (ÚKDŽ)'. Du 27 au 29 juin 1967, s'y tient le IVe Congrès de l'Union des écrivains tchécoslovaques.
