Source text - English Nové Mesto is the city's main commercial and business district, housing most of its big hotels, cinemas, nightclubs, fast-food outlets and department stores. Architecturally, it comes over as big, bourgeois and predominantly late nineteenth century, yet Nové Mesto was actually founded way back in 1348 by Emperor Charles IV as an entirely new town – three times as big as Staré Mesto – intended to link the southern fortress of Vysehrad with Staré Mesto to the north. Large market squares, wide streets, and a level of town-planning far ahead of its time were employed to transform Prague into the new capital city of the Holy Roman Empire. Instead, how ever, Nové Mesto remained incomplete when Charles died, and quickly became the city's poorest quarter after Josefov, fertile ground for Hussites and radicals throughout the centuries. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the authorities set about a campaign of slum clearance similar to that inflicted on the Jewish quarter; only the churches and a few important historical buildings were left standing, but Charles' street layout survives pretty much intact. The leading architects of the day began to line the wide boulevards with ostentatious examples of their work, which were eagerly snapped up by the new class of status-conscious businessman – a process that has continued into this century, making Nové Mesto the most architecturally varied part of Prague.
Translation - Spanish Nové Mesto es el principal distrito comercial de la ciudad, albergando a la mayoría de sus grandes hoteles, cines, clubes nocturnos, negocios de comida rápida y tiendas por departamentos. Desde el punto de vista arquitectónico, es grande, burgués y predominantemente de fines del siglo XIX, pese a que Nové Mesto fue fundado nuevamente en 1348 por el emperador Carlos IV como una ciudad totalmente nueva – tres veces tan grande como Staré Mesto – pensada para unir el fuerte de Vysehrad al sur con Staré Mesto al norte. Grandes plazas con negocios, amplias calles y un nivel de urbanismo que iba más allá de la época fueron utilizados para transformar a Praga en la nueva ciudad capital del Sagrado Imperio Romano. Pero en lugar de eso, Nové Mesto quedó incompleto cuando Carlos murió, y se convirtió rápidamente en el barrio más pobre de la ciudad después de Josefov, tierra fértil para los Hussitas y radicales a través de los siglos. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, las autoridades emprendieron una campaña para demoler y reconstruir los barrios pobres, similar a la impuesta al barrio Judío, únicamente las iglesias y algunos edificios históricos importantes se mantuvieron en pie, aunque el trazado de la calle de Carlos sobrevive bastante intacto. Los principales arquitectos de ese tiempo empezaron a diseñar los amplios bulevares con ejemplos ostentosos de sus trabajos, los cuales fueron comprados rápida e impacientemente por la nueva clase de comerciantes clasistas – un proceso que ha continuado hasta este siglo, convirtiendo a Nové Mesto en el lugar de Praga más variado desde el punto de vista arquitectónico.
