Wenceslas Square isn't really a square. It's a long boulevard that once served as Prague's horse market, complete with a city gate at the top called, with no apparent embarrassment, Pigs Gate. The Czech National Revival of the mid-1800s rechristened it after Saint Wenceslas, and Josef Václav Myslbek's mounted statue of the patron saint, the same Good King from the Christmas carol, was installed at the upper end soon after.

Czechs have since gathered here for everything that matters. Prague's first electric tram clattered past in 1891. Warsaw Pact tanks rolled in during 1968. In November 1989, some 100,000 people stood in the cold and brought down a 41-year communist regime.

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours trace the square's role in Czech identity, from the saint at the top to David Černý's upside-down horse hanging belly-up in the nearby Lucerna Passage.
