    Wenceslas Square is also a historical place: It has been the location for demonstrations and other public gatherings, and it has been the stage of many important historical events, like the proclamation of the independence of the old Czechoslovakia in 1918, or the mass demonstrations by the Nazis. In 1945, it was the stage of the Prague Uprising, the attempt to release the city from the Nazis that ended up with the destruction of several buildings.
