Barrandov, Residential district in Hlubočepy, Czech Republic

Barrandov extends along rock formations above the Vltava River, comprising both old villa quarters and modern residential developments in the western section.

The neighborhood received its name in 1928 to honor French geologist Joachim Barrande, who extensively studied the fossil-rich rocks in this region.

The district houses one of Europe's largest film production centers, Barrandov Studios, which has influenced Czech cinema throughout the 20th century.

A tram line constructed in 2003 connects the district to central Prague, providing transportation for the area's 20,000 residents.

The district contains two national television broadcasters, Nova and Barrandov TV, making it a central hub for Czech media production.
