T<span class="hps">he</span> <span class="hps">church was</span> <span class="hps">originally</span> <span class="hps">the parish</span> <span class="hps">church of</span> <span class="hps">the

<span class="hps">the Old</span> <span class="hps">Town.</span></span> <span style="color: black;"><span class="hps">The church is</span> <span class="hps">therefore one</span> <span class="hps">of the oldest</span> <span class="hps">in Prague,</span> <span class="hps">built as</span> <span class="hps">Romanesque</span> <span class="hps">in the years</span> <span class="hps">1178-1187</span>.</span> <span style="color: black;"><span class="hps">After the</span> <span class="hps">consecration of the church</span> <span class="hps">the village</span> <span class="hps">began to be called</span> <span class="hps">as</span> <span class="hps">Ujezd</span> <span class="hps">of St</span>. <span class="hps">Martin.</span></span> <span style="color: black;">Old

so the name <span class="hps">-</span> "Church of <span class="hps">St</span>. <span class="hps">Martin</span> <span class="hps">in the Wall" </span>arose<span class="hps">.</span></span> <span

Prague had surpassed even cities like Paris or London. Prague was also ranked among </span><span title="mezi největší města své doby. Založení Nového Města pražského byl v pravdě historický počin už tím, že na rozdíl od tehdejších středověkých měst s křivolakými a úzkými uličkami, Karel IV. pro Nové Město navrhl na svoji dobu velkolepý urbanistický koncept se 3 tržišti (náměstími)">the largest cities in Europe measured by population.

Landmarks were built on the hills - the Church on Karlov, St. Apolinar Church. </span><span title="Karel IV. stanovil nezvykle přísné podmínky pro jeho novou zástavbu - nové domy musely být kamenné a jednopatrové.
