@timeforprague: Why Every House in Prague Has TWO Numbers 👇🔴🔵 In the Middle Ages, houses had no numbers at all, just symbols like a star, a lion, or a rose That changed in the 18th century, when red numbers were added house by house across the city by Maria Theresia But the red numbers followed no real order, so finding a specific house was still confusing So in the 19th century, blue numbers were added to show a building's actual position on the street So why weren't the red numbers ever removed? Because they're still legally tied to property records today, removing them would cause chaos in land registries and official documents So if you're navigating Prague, ignore the red, and just follow the blue 🔵 This is one of the most overlooked pieces of Prague history hiding in plain sight 📩 Send this to someone visiting Prague for the first time #prague #praguehistory #praguearchitecture #praguetravel #praguefacts
