Karlín is a cadastral area of Prague, part of Prague's 8 municipal district, formerly an independent town (which became part of Prague in 1922). It is bordered by the river Vltava and Holešovice to the north, Vítkov Hill and Žižkov to the south, New Town to the west, and Libeň to the east. The building of the Karlín district began in 1817, surrounding the Rosarium of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star. The new settlement was named after Caroline Augusta of Bavaria, the fourth wife of Emperor Francis I of Austria.
After demolishing the city walls, the properties in Karlín were counted among the cheapest properties in Prague. For that reason, industrial enterprises and dwellings proliferated in the "Rohan Island" (Rohanský Ostrov). On January 1, 1922, Karlín was incorporated into Prague. At this time, the electrical engineering pioneer and industrialist František Křižík had significant influence in the area. He established a streetcar line, which he then sold to the city.
In the 1970s, traffic was rerouted onto the Rohanské nábřeží, and the main arterial road was relieved. Since 1990, Karlín has been connected to the Prague Metro, and a pedestrian zone has been established. In 2002, Karlín was severely affected by the 100-year flood. It has since recovered and is becoming a new destination for businesses and residences.

The new Prague monument on the Fragment building in Karlín - The Giantess by sculptor David Černý. She is Lilith and was created by artist and sculptor David Černý.
The architecturally unique construction of the apartment building between Rohanský nábřeží and Sokolovská Street is supported by two other sculptures symbolizing the upper and lower limbs, in addition to the most giant sculpture by David Černý in the form of a woman.
Lilith represents the mythical first woman, who saw the light of day before Eve and was Adam's equal, which is why she refused to obey him and, according to a legend from the Bible, was damned. The house symbolizes the human community, its ability to support each other when needed, and the power of human togetherness. The giant sculpture is that of a woman who stands 24 meters tall and weighs 35 tonnes, symbolically holding the whole house in her arms. The statue turns its head 180° every time it turns after midnight. The house comprises 140 units with a living area of 10 500 m2, resembling a reclining figure from above, supported by the statues above, i.e., an arm, a leg, and a woman. As the artist says, the small sculptures comprise small elements that imaginatively represent the human body's cells. As in life, the cells comprise the body, and the small parts are folded to support the larger ones. The total weight of the sculptures is up to 60 tons, and they are made of stainless steel with a mirror-polished surface.
David Černý is a famous Czech sculptor. His work can be seen mainly in many places in Prague. All of them have become popular attractions in the city.
