What's in a Prague street name

Nad Havlem was built in 1925.

This one is nothing to do with Václav Havel, but if you want to read about him, you can: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/09/14/prague-1-day-104-namesti-vaclava-havla/.

It is, however, to do with St Gall (he who gave his name St Gallen in Switzerland), who we discussed on https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/10/08/prague-1-day-175-havelska/.

As mentioned on https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/08/18/prague-4-day-423-v-podzamci/, the Carmelites of St Gall moved to Krč in 1627; their chateau included a chapel, which is what today’s street gets its name from.

Somehow, we’re going to end up talking about another chapel in Krč dedicated to St Gall before the week is out.
