What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 3, day 55: Pod Jarovem

Pod Jarovem was built in 1925, and translate as ‘under Jarov’.

And Jarov, the district we’re in (or potentially just outside of if we’re ‘pod’ it?), is described on https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2022/11/19/prague-3-day-30-na-jarove/.

There are some other Jarovs around the country too, for example in north Plzeň district: https://oujarov.cz and, erm, in south Plzeň district: https://obecjarov.cz.

And a Jarov u Berouna, which also manages to be the scene of The Other Pod Jarovem. Just something to keep in mind next time you’re booking a Bolt.
