Part of the Lesser Quarter fortifications in Prague, built during the years 1360-1362 by Emperor Charles IV, is called the Hunger Wall.
This 4-4,5 metres high and 1,8 metres wide argillite wall, which used to have 8 towers, originally connected Újezd with Strahov and Pohořelec.
The name of the wall is supposed to reminds us of the famine of 1361 during which a number of the poor found work building this wall.
