- Cover photo description:
- Over the centuries, Petrin has been replaced by several names: Petrin, Hora, Kopec, Vrch sv. Lawrence. The chronicler Kosmas describes it as a very rocky place, and for this reason he was called Petrin for a large number of rocks. In Latin, the rock is called Peter. Since time immemorial, the stone of opuka has been broken here, from which Prague has built many buildings. The first historical mention of the Petrin quarries comes from Monk of Sazava, who wrote that with these stones, New Year`s Eve had to decorate the tiles of the Sazava Monastery. There used to be a scaffold on Petrin which stood near the Church of Sts. Lawrence. It is mentioned in connection with the slaughter of the Slavniks. Those of this family, whom the PŠ Â ™emyslids were not able to kill on 28 September 995 in Libice, led wild animals to Prague and killed on PetŠ Â ™à  Â ÂÂÂn. Then, until the 14th century, the scaffold was used to punish major offense offenses. Only after the construction of the Hungry Wall by Emperor Charles IV. the scaffold moved to the opposite hill Vitkov.
