    Hello everyone,

    the time for update has come.Today, we will take a look at the Lesser Side ("Malá Strana" in Czech).It is often called a "The Pearl of Baroque Architecture".The famous Czech novelist Jan Neruda was born, lived in and wrote about Malá Strana.

    First, two real images of Malá Strana.

    But now, back to my CJ:

    General overview of Praha is showed below, there is still plenty of work to be done, but the historic center is nearly complete now.

    More detailed look, Lesser Side and Prague Castle.praha26aug521173367073tt0.jpg

    And more close-ups from Lesser Side:

    For some reason I didn't realize this was a recreation of Prague! Ah, yes, Mala Strana. Got horribly lost there once looking for the Kampa Park restaurant. Beautiful work!

    I love the old buildings, the way of construction and the nice triangle-filler you use.

    Hi my neighbor, zachos- prague! 4.gif I live only a few hundred km away from you, I am Austrian (Graz), just see my post on page 1 of your great cj!! I definitely like your historic center very much, it's so.. home to me! These architectural styles are very Central- European, no matter if you live in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, etc.

    So, I know what you are recreating, and you are doing a great job!

    Well, I am looking forward to your next update, good luck 2.gif

    Hello everyone,

    the time for update has come.

    First, overview of Praha, or what have been done so far.

    overviewmt7.jpg

    Next to Malá Strana, there is a Smíchov district.It was a former industrial heart of Prague, but it has become commercial district in last ten years.

    smichovcy3.jpg

    Close-up from Smíchov.

    Few kilometres away from Smíchov, there is a residential and quite snobish area called Barrandov.One of the first Movie Studios in Europe was opened there in 1931 (Barrandov Studios)

    close-up from Barrandov.

    That's all for today, enjoy it!

    Hello Everyone,
    the time for update has come.
    I know it could seem that I have already abondonned this CJ but I was just very busy for some time.


    However, I have done some work on my CJ.

    regionsm5.jpg

    I have already finished the Prague, now I'm building the suburbs of Prague and tiny villages near Prague.
    Today, we will have a look at "Úvaly u Prahy".
    valyairviewfs3.jpg

    Úvaly u Prahy lays on the main railway line to Brno and Vienna.

    uvalymestoqg7.jpg

    A lot of EuroCity and InterCity trains go through this town every day.

    iceev9.jpg

    A lot of farms can be found around Úvaly, no wonder, the soil si fertile here.

    valyfarmyum4.jpg

    To the north of the city, there is D11 highway to Hradec Králové (and Poland in future).
    Of course, this location, close to Prague and near the highway attracts new development.

    logisticrb9.jpg

    Prague Ring Road and its intersection with D11 highway.

    Enjoy it, I am back4.gif
