What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 158: Terasovitá

Terasovitá was built in 1978.

‘Terasovitá’ can be translated as ‘terraced’ or ‘tiered’.

And the residences in the street, built in the 1960s and 1970s, have some quite pleasing (and quite southern European-looking?) terraces, as best evidenced by https://pamatkovykatalog.cz/terasove-domy-20605427.

Apparently, you can refer to these as an example of ‘green brutalism’: https://praha.camp/magazin/detail/praha-kopcovita-aneb-jak-se-bydli-ve-svahu-kde-najdete-top-5-terasovych-domu.
