What's in a Prague street name

Pod vilami was built in 1925.

The street name translates as ‘below the villas’, and, well, that’s pretty self-explanatory.

The corner of Pod vilami and Vladimírova features St Wenceslas Church (Kostel svatého Václava), built in 1898, the year in which Nusle, not yet part of Prague, was elevated to the status of royal town.
