In addition to the early plans based on 1864 building regulations, the study focused on neglected layout plans following the 1886 building regulations for Prague and adjacent municipalities, especially on a completely unknown major layout plan of 1888, which regulated most of newly built buildings,...

After the early death of the architect Prof. Jan Kotěra in 1923, the architectural community perceived the construction of university buildings designed by him on the bridgehead of Čech Bridge in Prague Old Town as a kind of monument, partly also due to a numerous complications that Kotěra had to go through during the long design process.

Based on a study of written evidence and earlier literature, including period newspapers, the article deals in detail with the circumstances of erecting the Holy Trinity Column in Malostranské Square in Prague in 1713-1715 and especially its relatively numerous renovations and restoration works from the second half of the 18th to the mid-20th century.

Regretfully it is perceived as a mere firming of the street surface; stone setts of...
