Podolí Waterworks (in Czech: Podolská vodárna) is a big water supply equipment located in capital city of the Czech Republic, Prague, neighborhood Podolí. More precisely, it is located in Prague 4 on the right side of Vltava river between Vyšehrad and Swimming stadium Podolí (Plavecký stadium Podolí). The current complex was built between 1925–1929 on the place where former water supply infrastructure was located. In 1990s, it was completely reconstructed. From 2003, it serves only as backup water source in case of failure of other treatment plants. The complex was built in neoclassical architecture style and it is protected as a Cultural monument. It also serves as a Prague Waterworks Museum.

Czech Police Museum
Czech Police Museum

Czech Police Museum – (in Czech – Muzeum Policie České republiky - Museum of Police of the Czech Republic) is a museum located in the historical centre of Prague dedicated to the history of law enforcement on the territory of the Czech Republic and former Czechoslovakia. The museum is located on the grounds of the former Augustinian monastery, in the Karlov neighbourhood in the New Town of Prague, which was founded in 1350 by Charles IV. The monastery was previously the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Charles the Great. When monastery was abolished by Emperor Joseph II, it passed into the possession of the state, and served at first as a warehouse, later as hospital for the treatment of infectious diseases, almshouse and during World War I a centre for army convalescents. In the 1960s it was acquired by the Ministry of the Interior, which set it up as a state regional archive and later a museum. The current museum documents the history and activities of the state security corps, presenting their specialised departments including criminal investigation, from 1918 to the present. This museum documents and presents the history, development and operation of law enforcement forces in the former Czechoslovakia since its inception to the present. In addition to permanent exhibitions concerning forensic science, criminal investigation, borders protection or history of petty crimes in Old Prague, the museum also has temporary exhibitions. The museum is open daily except Monday.
