Prague's main thoroughfare is more of an inclined boulevard than a square, with a central concourse flanked by two roadways. The hub of cultural, social and business activity with its many shops, hotels, bars, and restaurants, it is busy irrespective of day or night. Wenceslas Square has long been the center of protest, from a large outdoor mass demonstration in 1848 to the declaration of the First Republic in 1918. It was founded in 1348 as part of the New Town and was originally used (and known) as the Horse Market until 1848, when it was finally given its present name. The square is dominated by the imposing building of the National Museum with the Wenceslas Monument right below it. Art Nouveau architectural style can be dominantly seen in the buildings around Wenceslas Square. In December, the square is abuzz with the spirit of the city's Christmas Market.
