Revitalization

Points of Interest

  • The renovation lasted from January 2024 to June 2026 and, according to preliminary data, cost 570 million crowns.

  • Following the revitalization, the square features a total of 244 trees. 74 of the previously planted trees have been preserved, and 170 new trees have been added. Rainwater is channeled to the roots via so-called blue-green infrastructure. To facilitate this irrigation method, special layers of substrate containing gravel, biochar, and compost were created beneath the surface.

  • The area in front of the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus features large-format paving inspired by Prague Castle, giving rise to a one-of-a-kind venue for cultural events. The pavers are set into a subbase that allows water to infiltrate and subsequently evaporate. The paving is designed to prevent the square from becoming a heat island.

  • 85 benches of various types are distributed across the square: 54 single benches, 10 long double-sided benches, 18 circular benches, and 3 additional large benches near the playground, complemented by 6 tables. The amenities also include 41 trash cans and 20 bike racks.

  • The square underwent its last renovation in connection with the construction of the metro in 1981. At that time, however, only part of it was renovated.

Approximately 30,000 m³ of soil was moved during the revitalization. Among the most technically challenging tasks were the sewer excavations, which reached depths of 6.5 to 7 meters.

The square is illuminated by 41 park lampposts fitted with LED lights. The system is remote-controlled, making it energy-efficient and easily adaptable to various events.

To protect the subway ventilation shaft that intersects the main part of the square, a special reinforced concrete slab with micropiles was installed beneath the surface. This will allow, for example, firefighters to pass through with heavy vehicles.

Fifteen species of trees grow on the square. This diversity is intended to help ensure that the vegetation is affected as little as possible by climate change and sudden weather fluctuations.

The storage tank beneath the square has a capacity of 150 m³. It collects rainwater from the church roof, which is then used to irrigate the greenery.

For decades, the square was taking shape without a unified concept. Some of the trees were in poor health, and the lawns suffered from drought and heavy foot traffic. A photo from before the renovation.
