Strahov Monastery, or in full the Royal Canonry of Premonstratensians at Strahov, is the oldest premonstratensian monastery in Bohemia, established in 1143, and one of the most important architectonic sights of the Czech Republic. The monastery, which was restored after 1990, also seats the Museum of National Literature, the famous Strahov Library and Strahov Gallery.

The Strahov Library is one of the most valuable and best preserved historical libraries not only in the Czech Republic. It maintains more than 200 thousand books, out of which over 3,000 manuscripts and 1,500 originals, saved in a special depository. The library consists of two halls, the Theological Hall and the larger Philosophical Hall, and the connecting corridor.

There is also the second oldest documented brewery in our territory.

The Great Strahov Stadium or Masaryk Stadium is, according to some resources, the largest stadium in the world. Its capacity was 280,000 places, out of which 96,000 seats. Since 6 March 2003 it has been listed as a national cultural monument.

The total surface area of the Strahov Stadium is 63 thousand m2, which approximately corresponds to nine football pitches.

The stadium was originally built to hold gymnastics festivals of the Sokol Movement. In 1926, however, it only consisted of a sand exercise area, banks made of earth and wooden stands.

Later the stadium was reconstructed and completed several times. The west stands were built and the entire premises were completed for the needs of national Spartakiades. Up to 33 thousand gymnasts exercised in Strahov in the times of its greatest fame.

The Strahov Stadium also held several concerts of popular bands, such as The Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses or Pink Floyd.

Ladronka is one of the most popular homesteads of Prague. The adjacent park is intended for pedestrians, cyclists and especially in-line skaters, who can use the longest illuminated track, which is 4.2 km long.

Various cultural events are held there, such as Ladronkafest, the biggest festival in Central Europe, Čarodějnice na Ladronce (The Witches in Ladronka), etc.

In the past there was a vineyard press there, because as Charles IV had wished, there were vineyards all around. Italian Count Philipp Ferdinand de la Crone, whose surname was simplified to Lacrone or Ladrone (which gave rise to the name of the homestead), bought a large area at this place by the village of Motol from Baron Schwihowski in 1688.

Břevnov Monastery is the oldest Czech monastery and it is situated in the Prague quarter called Břevnov. It was founded in 993.

Kajetánka is a Prague homestead in Prague-Břevnov, originally a court, later a monastery. At present, the dilapidated premises are under extensive reconstruction into a housing estate.

The original court with a vineyard was owned by the House of Martinic. Bernard Ignác of Martinic had a smaller monastery building constructed and donated it to the Order of Theatins, also called Kajetans. The monastery also comprised a cylindrical chapel and a small church built according to the Bavarian Pilgrimage Church of the Virgin Mary in Alt Oetting. Kajetánka was rebuilt into a small château by its then owner.
