Riding through Beverly Hills of Prague
Střešovice is a neighborhood of green, quiet, village-like streets in the west of Prague. It is located in the Prague 6 district. Střešovice is often called the „local Beverly Hills“ because it is home to some famous residents, including former President Václav Havel. Střešovice (also known as Třešovice) appeared between the 10th and 11th centuries and belonged to the Czech royal family until 1143 when the village was given to the Strahov Monastery. It remained in possession of the monastery until the 20th century. The major sights include Villa Müller by functionalist architect Adolf Loos, The Church of St Norbert in Romanesque Revival style and the famous Strahov Monastery.
