Art Monuments / Architectural Manual / Prague

 

The Department of Art-Historical Topography of the Institute of Art History of the Czech Academy of Sciences, which is the guarantor of the project Art Monuments / Architectural Manual / Prague (AM/AM/PRAGUE), has long been engaged in inventory activities focused on architecture and other artistic monuments and publishes a series of book encyclopaedias Art Monuments. Within these activities, the aim of the project is to create an architectural manual as an open, publicly accessible web source of professionally processed information on architecture, which would publicize many years of professional research and at the same time become a professional but also popularizing tool for learning about the architectural heritage of the whole country, in this first phase of Prague, more precisely the city districts - Prague 3, Prague 7 and Prague 10.

Locations

The Prague 3 municipal district has a cadastral area of 649 ha and lies to the east of the city centre. It includes almost the entire cadastre of Žižkov (with the exception of the area between the railway lines near Krejcárek), the north-eastern part of the cadastre of Vinohrady (north of Korunní Street and east of the waterworks and Slavíkova Street) and small parts of the cadastral areas of Strašnice (industrial and warehouse complexes Tesla Strašnice and Pramen Praha and tennis courts in the area of Třebešín) and Vysočany (sports complex and garden settlements Na Balkáně). The Prague 3 district was essentially created by renumbering and slightly modifying the Prague 11 district from 1949-1960, which was the successor of the Prague XI district from 1923.

Podrobnější údaje

The Prague 7 municipal district with a cadastral area of 714 ha occupies an area to the north-east and east of the historic Prague Quadri-City (Old Town, Malá Strana, Hradčany and New Town) defined on three sides by a large arc of the Vltava River. It includes the eastern part of Císařský ostrov and the island of Štvanice. It extends to the right bank of the Vltava only in the north by a small area between the Troja Bridge and the Barikádníků Bridge. The densely built-up left bank of the Vltava includes the cadastral territory of Holešovice and the eastern part of the cadastre of Bubeneč with Stromovka and Výstaviště Praha. In its present form, the Prague 7 district was established on 1 July 1960 by transforming the previous Holešovice-Bubny district with the same designation (i.e. Prague 7) from 1949-1960, which in turn was a continuation of the older administrative unit of Prague VII, created in 1922 with the validity from the 17th to the 17th of July 1960. Troja on the right bank of the river was also fully part of Prague 7 until 31 December 1991, but from 1 January 1992 it was separated into a separate Prague municipal district belonging to the municipal and administrative district of Prague 7.
