Info
The Čertovka (Devil's Canal), sometimes also called Little Prague Venice in English, is a canal in Prague, the Czech Republic. It is situated in the Lesser Quarter (Malá Strana). The Čertovka takes its water from the Vltava and after 740 m it flows back into that river. There are several medieval mills along its course. The canal was built probably in the 12th century by the Order of the Knights of Malta, who added a portion of land to the right and created an island called Kampa.
