Hradiště Hostivař, Archaeological site in Hostivař district, Prague, Czech Republic.
Hradiště Hostivař is an archaeological site occupying a hilltop in Prague with preserved earth ramparts and fortified structures. The remains show the layout of a defended settlement with multiple defensive lines and living areas from medieval times.
The settlement originated in the early Middle Ages as a Slavic fortified place with sophisticated defensive systems. Archaeological excavations have shown that people lived and defended this site over several centuries.
Pottery shards and everyday objects found here tell you how people lived and worked on this hilltop centuries ago. These items reveal what they ate, how they made things, and the routines of their daily lives.
The site is reachable by public transport with marked paths for walking around the remains. Wear sturdy shoes as the ground is uneven and paths wind through wooded slopes.
Excavations have uncovered construction methods showing how early medieval builders shaped and reinforced their earthen ramparts. These techniques differ from other fortifications in the region and reveal local building traditions.
