What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 144: Na Zlatnici

Na Zlatnici was built in 1925.

You may remember that Podolí was built in an area of vineyards – they’re mentioned on quite a large proportion of recent posts, such as https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/06/11/prague-4-day-114-na-topolce/, which is named after a vineyard called Topolka.

There was another vineyard round here called Zlatnice. When used to describe a person, a ‘zlatnice’ is a female goldsmith.

There’s also a Zlatnice in Dejvice; that one is a a rocky promontory that’s also registered as a natural monument: https://www.praha-priroda.cz/chranena-priroda/zvlaste-chranena-uzemi/zlatnice/.
