What's in a Prague street name

Trocnovské náměstí was presumably built before 1875.

We’ve covered nearby Trocnovská on https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2022/11/30/prague-3-day-102-trocnovska/, but otherwise we have a reversal of Dovcovagate (Dovcova being the street that exists on Google Maps but nowhere else, as covered on https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2022/11/26/prague-3-day-86-dovcova/).

My atlas, Google Maps and http://mapy.cz all confidently state that this is part of Husitská (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2022/11/28/prague-3-day-101-husitska/).

And yet there are at least two street signs claiming that this is a separate square.

But campuj.online/blog/praha-zitra-navrh-florence… provides the answer – the new square is part of a project to better connect Florenc with the areas of Prague immediately around it. Which can only be a good thing.

No official date for when this will be a ‘real’ square yet.
