"An entire city was below me."

Translation: Bylo pode mnou celé město.

Why is "Bylo celé mesto pode mnou" not correct ?

Such a word order is quite unnatural.

My native Czech wife says your sentence is correct :)

[VladaFu]

And I say it is unnatural.

Thanks, guys, you are sweet !!

Pode mnou bylo celé město. Is this unnatural? It wasn't accepted.

It is OK. I added this word order.
