Although Prague has had some human occupants for 250,000 years, and has been a city since about 880 C.E., the Nove Mesto, or New Town, only dates to the 14th Century. Nevertheless, even the New Town has layers of ruins under the streets, as you can see in this construction site on Spalena, behind Tesco's.

Tesco's, or Tesco in the Czech Republic, is actually a British chain of department stores, although in Britain it's more of a supermarket than in the Czech Republic. The chain isn't entirely popular, perhaps simply due to its monopolizing the market in some peoples' opinion, but in spite of their being almost everywhere in the Czech Republic, the ones on Spalena in Prague, and here, in Liberec, are both well-known. This one was immortalized in the movie "Grand Hotel," although not of course as the hotel in question. The hotel used was actually the Hotel Jested, which is on Jested, a mountain overlooking Liberec.
