Řeporyje, Cadastral area and municipal district in Prague, Czech Republic
Řeporyje is a municipal district in southwest Prague covering roughly 10 square kilometers alongside the Dalejský potok stream. The western section features an industrial zone with a striking grain silo, while residential and formerly agricultural areas spread across the rest of the territory.
The area was once an independent town-like settlement before becoming part of Prague in 1974. This incorporation ended its autonomous governance and transformed it into a modern district of the Czech capital.
The area maintains cross-border relationships, particularly with Hostomel in Ukraine, showing how local communities build bridges across Europe. These connections reflect in local initiatives that bring people together across distances.
The Praha-Řeporyje railway station offers train connections on the Praha-Rudná-Beroun line and links the district to other parts of the broader region. Visitors can rely on public transportation to move around and reach neighboring districts of Prague.
A quarry southwest of the area preserves an important geological boundary that marks the beginning of the Přídolí period in Earth's history. This site holds global significance for geologists, though most visitors walking through the district never notice it exists.
