About this audio guide
This guide to Havelske trziste in Prague traces back to 1230, when a Bohemian king handed this muddy strip of land to a German merchant named Eberhard with orders to build a town. You'll hear how Havel Town rose with its own charter and market, handling coal, produce and live cattle, and how within a few generations it was swallowed by Prague's expanding Old Town. The market it left behind gradually shifted from coal and cattle to fruit, flowers and handicrafts.
