Strašnice

Strašnice is a cadastral district of Prague, most of which belongs to Prague 10 and which was incorporated into the city in 1922. The neighborhood is served by Metro Line A, with the stations Strašnická, Skalka, and Depo Hostivař. Among its most notable sights is the Strašnice Crematorium, considered the largest of its kind in Europe in terms of area. The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, built in 1994 and topped by a striking triangular roof, also stands out. Culture lovers will find the Strašnické divadlo and the Divadlo Miriam here. The Protestant cemetery is also the final resting place of well-known figures such as Ludwig Grünberger and Wilhelm Elsner, while Villa Trmal is an early work by the architect Jan Kotěra.
