History
Holešovice grew in the 19th century as an industrial and slaughterhouse district; late-20th-century deindustrialization left large structures that have since been repurposed into markets, galleries and residences.
Conservation
Regeneration has helped preserve historic brick structures, but gentrification pressures remain; stick to public paths, support local businesses and avoid littering to minimize impact.
