Few people today notice the gray-blue Art Nouveau building below the Nuselský Stairs, next to the railway bridge over Bělehradská Street. At the same time, it was once an important transport structure. The Královské Vinohrady stop was put into operation on October 1, 1888 on the day of the start of passenger transport on the Prague connecting railway, which connected the František Josef railway station (today's main railway station) and the Western railway station (today Prague-Smíchov). The original small station building between the diverging monorails had covered platforms and an overpass led to them. In 1901, the line to Smíchov was doubled. In the years 1912-13, the stop underwent a major reconstruction. Bělehradská Street (then Havlíčkova) was sunk and bridged. A new Art Nouveau station building was built, the tracks were relocated and two covered platforms with a raised boarding edge and a new overpass were created. The reconstruction of the station was designed by the architect Jan Heindl, the arrangement of the tracks and the underpass by engineer V. Němeček. In connection with the construction of the second and third Vinohrady tunnels, the station was closed in 1944 when the second tunnel was opened. The trains stopped stopping on June 1, and on July 3, 1944, the station was canceled.
