Holešovice

Holešovice (Czech pronunciation: [ˈɦolɛʃovɪtsɛ]) is a district in the north of Prague situated on a meander of the River Vltava, which makes up the main part of the district Prague 7 (an insignificant part belongs to Prague 1). In the past it was a heavily industrial suburb; today it is home to the main site of the Prague's National Gallery in Veletržní palác, the DOX Center for contemporary art, and National Technical Museum.
On the Strossmayer Square lies neo-Gothic Church of St. Anthony of Padua.

Holešovice were named as one of the 10 Europe coolest neighborhoods by The Guardian in 2020.
