Koleje Podolí, University dormitory at Podolí, Czech Republic.
Koleje Podolí is a student dormitory complex in Prague with three swimming pools, including a 50-meter indoor pool and two outdoor pools with a diving tower. The facility was completed in 1965 and features a distinctive wave-shaped roof designed as an architectural focal point.
Built in 1965, the complex represented a turning point in Czechoslovak design that moved away from Soviet architectural traditions. This period marked a shift toward European influences that reshaped how new buildings were created across the country.
The wave-shaped roof creates a distinctive visual landmark that stands out in the neighborhood. Metal sculptures integrated into the design give the complex an artistic character that visitors notice as they walk through the grounds.
The complex is located in an accessible area of Prague and is reachable by foot from nearby transit points. The pools and grounds are most pleasant to visit during warmer months, though the building remains open year-round for viewing.
The outdoor grandstand features parabolic concrete and steel structures that were built to host swimming competitions with seating for large crowds. The structures remain visible today as reminders of the site's former role as a public sports venue.
