Strahov Stadium: a colossal monument to the past and an uncertain future

Strahov Stadium is an imposing relic of the past. Once the largest stadium in the world by area, it has seen a remarkable evolution—from a stage for nationalistic gymnastics festivals to a propaganda tool of communist mass exercises, from a rock concert venue to its current uncertain fate. Despite numerous proposals to repurpose it, Strahov remains an enigmatic and largely forgotten part of the city.
