Description edit

Strahov is home to the premonstratensian Strahov Monastery (Czech: Strahovský klášter), Štefánik's Observatory (Czech: Štefánikova hvězdárna) and Great Strahov Stadium (Czech: Velký strahovský stadion), a former sports stadium that was once the largest in the world and famously hosted the spartakiáda gatherings.[1] A smaller stadium, Stadion Evžena Rošického, currently home to football club SK Sparta Krč is in Strahov, as is a large accommodation block for the Czech Technical University in Prague.

In Communist times, a radio frequency jammer was situated in the district to block the broadcasts of Radio Free Europe. It was a featured location in the game Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness (2003).
