History
The territory of the modern zoo and the Prague park was part of the Goledzinuv law and until 1791 was part of the city of Prague , whose center was located on the Town Hall Street with the Town Hall and the Church of Our Lady of Loreto, built in 1643. The territory of the neighborhood underwent major changes after the occupation of Prague by Protestant Swedes in the 17th century, the storming of Prague by the Russian army under the command of Alexander Suvorov in the 18th century, and during the Napoleonic wars of the 19th century. From the building of the 17th century, only the Church of Our Lady of Loreto remained.
In the first half of the XIX century the fort was built here Slivitsky. In the second half of the same century, after the construction of the Alexander Bridge and the railway, the value of land in Prague increased significantly. Numerous industrial enterprises were built here, including the giant Warsaw Steel Works on Steel Street, one of the largest in the Russian Empire.
During the Second Rzecz Pospolita in the areas of New Parga, adjacent to the Vistula, the former bases of the Russian army, a zoo and Prague Park with a summer theater were created. After the Second World War, in 1944-1946, the prison of the Soviet NKVD and the Polish Ministry of Public Security was located between the street on November 11 and Nasmyslovskaya Street. It contained opponents of the communist regime. Nowadays the repressed Poles have erected a monument on Namyslovskaya Street. From 1948 to 1964, quarters of Prague I, II and III were built in New Prague.
