Today our walking tour will take place in Lesser Town in Prague. We will start at Lesser Town Square and go through the whole of Kampa island and go through Ujezd street to the Kinsky Square.

Malá Strana (Lesser Town of Prague) is a district of Prague, Czech Republic, and one of its most historic neighborhoods. ​It is on the left (west) bank of the river Vltava, on the slopes just below Prague Castle. The name distinguishes it from the more prominent districts of Prague on the right bank, with which it is linked by the Charles Bridge.
Initially, when it was founded in 1257, the district was called the New Town beneath Prague Castle (Czech: Nové Město pod Pražským hradem). When Charles IV founded the New Town of Prague in 1348, Malá Strana was renamed the Lesser Town of Prague (Czech: Menší Město pražské). In the 17th century, the unofficial name Little Quarter (Czech: Malá Strana) was used.[iew of Malá Strana from St. Nicholas Church
In 1419-1420 the Malá Strana was burnt down by Hussites. In 1541 the town was strongly damaged by a fire that killed fifty people. After this fire, the city was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, and many palaces of nobility were built there.

Kampa (also Na Kampě) is an island in the Vltava river in central Prague on the side of Malá Strana. Charles Bridge crosses its northern tip and is connected to the island by the street Na Kampě. It is separated from Malá Strana by a narrow artificial channel to the west called the Devil's Stream (Čertovka), a waterway dug to power water mills (no longer existent). It is supposedly named after a sharp-tongued woman who lived in a local home called the Seven Devils.

The Čertovka (Devil's Canal) is situated in the Lesser Quarter (Malá Strana). The Čertovka takes its water from the Vltava, and after 740 m, it flows back into that river. There are several medieval mills along its course. The canal was probably built in the 12th century by the Knights of Malta,[1] who added a portion of land to the right and created an island called Kampa.
