Prague 13

Prague 13 is an administrative district in the west of the Czech capital, made up of the neighborhoods of Prague 13 and Řeporyje. The area, which has been part of the city since 1974, was originally part of Prague 5 and includes the cadastral districts of Stodůlky and Třebonice, among others. Of archaeological interest is the discovery of a burial ground of the Únětice culture in 1978. The district's development was shaped largely by the extension of Metro Line B to Zličín, which set off continuous construction activity. Today Prague 13 is best known for the large housing complexes of Southwest Town and West Town, which together are home to more than 50,000 residents. At the center of Southwest Town is an extensive park that forms part of an urban green corridor and offers plenty of opportunities for recreation.
