Between 1884 and 1926, the tram stop was called Purkyňovo náměstí (Purkyně’s square – the same square where it’s placed – named about Czech anatomist and physiologist who coined the term “protoplasma”).
Later it was renamed to Náměstí míru (Peace Square) and is still called that today.
OMG, they rotated the cathedral 90 degrees!
They rotated church – impressive.
Clearly it is NOT the same stop.
Good that they are using colored paint nowadays.
Just been to Prague the last 2 days, and have to ask where you found a even just new*ish* looking tram in that city.
I’m pretty sure that the one in the first picture is pretty incompatible with the tracks that are used now, but do you still roll out any ancient trams for fun or special occassions every once in a while? I was cycling through Warsaw today and saw a modern tram and one from the 50s (or earlier? don’t know much about them tbh) just behind it, some tourist trip or something like that, it was a brilliant sight 😉
These are amazing to me, how come everywhere else is capable of keeping public transport? If this was the UK the”before” photo would show a very popular and needed station while the “now” photo would be a run down train line.
Ugh. Now we are going to have 250 photos like this. It’s not even comparable to the message the original was sending.

Edit: okay, [found it, I saw that one](https://radiokolor.pl/wracaja-zabytkowe-tramwaje-na-trasy-turystyczne/) from the 60s.
