Originally, the site was called Královská louka (Royal Meadows) — it was a wide riverbank where the grand coronation ceremony of Wenceslas II took place as early as 1297. It only became an island at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when Smíchov Harbour was being built. The excavation of earth created a harbour basin, which separated the area of Císařská louka from the Smíchov bank.
