Barrandov
Barrandov originated as a film producing borough. The film studios, which are active even today, were soon surrounded by many beautiful villas of the First Republic and consequently a small garden town developed. This part of Barrandov is till today
considered to be a "good address" in Prague. Most important landmarks besides the Barrandov Film Studios are the Barrandov Terraces (Barrandovské Terasy), a former functional luxury restaurant with a splendid view on Vltava river.
New Barrandov is noted for its unique tram stations. The Hlubočepy-Sídliště Barrandov route (tram no.20, 12 or 14) was opened in 2003.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Prague 5” as municipal part of Prague. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as municipal part of Prague. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q577602. Authority coordinates are 50.060, 14.393. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
