Černý lom, Abandoned limestone quarry in Prague, Czech Republic.

The Černý lom quarry extends over 800 meters in length, 200 meters in width, and reaches depths of 100 meters within its limestone walls.

During the first half of the 20th century, political prisoners provided labor for limestone extraction at this industrial site near Prague.

Czech film productions frequently incorporate the quarry's stark landscape and deep lakes, making it a recognized location in national cinematography.

Access to the quarry remains restricted due to safety concerns, particularly regarding the flooded sections that attract unauthorized diving attempts.

The quarry contains an intricate network of tunnels connecting to neighboring sites like Malá Amerika and Mexiko, forming a complex underground system.
