Poruba, Residential district in Ostrava, Czech Republic

Poruba encompasses 13 square kilometers of residential areas with modernist architecture, green spaces, and commercial zones in northern Ostrava.

The district expanded substantially in the 1950s when communist authorities constructed large apartment complexes to accommodate workers moving to Ostrava from different regions.

Saint Nicholas Church and Poruba Castle stand as central landmarks, representing the architectural heritage of this municipal district.

The district provides comprehensive infrastructure with schools, medical facilities, shopping centers, and public transportation connecting to central Ostrava.

The population of Poruba experienced a remarkable shift from 1,403 residents in 1910 to nearly 100,000 during its peak industrial period.
