Malá strana, now known as the “little quarter”, was originally called the New Town, a century before Charles IV moved that name across the river (see New Town). Floods, fires and war kept construction busy on the Vltava’s left bank; few of the original Romanesque and Gothic buildings remain. During the Habsburgs’ reign, grand palaces were built in Baroque style, but these went to ruin when the nobility left; modern developers are attempting to restore them. Today, the area is an enclave of parks, cafés, winding streets and unassuming churches.
