Abstract

In recent time the phenomenon of memory has become a popular issue in historiography and social studies. Probably the most interesting concept comes from the French historian Pierre Nora who wrote about "places of memory".

This text discusses the use of this concept in toponomastics. All examples are chosen from the Prague urbanonyms.
