What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 135: Podolské schody

Podolské schody were built in 1925. There may be a proper street sign up at the top.

These are the ‘Podolí Steps’, built around the same time as much everything else round here, when Podolí was newly part of Prague and expanding.

The steps got a bit of attention in late 2023, when railings were added – and not only did the municipal government of Prague 4 not finance, order or approve this, but they only found out when the public did: https://archiv.prahatv.eu/zpravy/praha/praha-4/19238/zabradli-na-podolskych-schodech-vyvolalo-zhavou-diskuzi.
