Hladova Zed (Hunger Wall), Prague, CZ, 2006
The Hladova Zed, or Hunger Wall, is another landmark of Prague, built during the reign of Karluv IV as a government jobs project for the unemployed. It got its name, supposedly, because it prevented workers from going hungry, but it may have also been intended for use during a seige.
