Stà Âeà ¡ovice is a cadastral area in the west of Prague, located in the Prague 6 district. Stà Âeà ¡ovice is often called the "local Beverly Hills" because it has been home to some famous residents, including Czech President Václav Havel. The neighborhood is made up of green, quiet, village-like streets and is a 10-minute walk from Prague Castle, and the Dejvice district. The major sights include Villa Müller by functionalist architect Adolf Loos (1930) and The Church of St Norbert in Romanesque Revival (1890-1891) style.
Stà Âeà ¡ovice (also known as Tà Âeà ¡ovice) 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.
By 1900 Stà Âeà ¡ovice had 2,500 habitats. In 1922, the number of dwellers grew to 3,879, and 254 houses connected to Prague as a part of the Prague-8 district. In 1949, the united part of Stà Âeà ¡ovice was integrated with the Prague 5 district, (with Bà Âevnov and parts of Liboc). Another part was integrated into Prague 6 (with Dejvice, Sedlec, VeleslavÃÂn, Vokovice and parts of BubeneÃÂ, Holeà ¡ovice, HradÃÂany and Liboc). In 1960, almost the whole of Stà Âeà ¡ovice became part of a new district, Prague 6. In 1990 the Stà Âeà ¡ovice became a part of the current Prague 6 administrative district.
The neighborhood served by tram routes 1 and 2 or bus routes 108, 216 and partially 180. The closest metro stations are HradÃÂanská and Dejvická. RuzynàInternational Airport is located approximately 7 kilometers west of Stà Âeà ¡ovice.
The Prague Public Transport Museum permanent exhibition is located in tram depot Stà Âeà ¡ovice. It contains over 40 vehicles from the history of Prague public transport and many other exhibits.
