Prague 10 is situated in the south-eastern part of the Capital and includes the territory of the area of approximately 1.900 hectares. The names of former historic municipalities - Vršovice, Strašnice, Malešice, Záběhlice, Vinohrady, Michle – form (after joining in1960 and after separation of Prague 15 in 1994) the individual cadastres of Prague 10. Some cadastres belong to Prague 10 with the whole of their area, such as Vršovice, Malešice, other from larger or smaller part, other in turn with a marginal, quite minute and almost unpopulated part, such as, e.g., Žižkov, Hloubětín, Hrdlořezy and Kyje. In the territory of present-day Prague 10 we will find approximately 7 thousand houses and 55 thousand flats in which approximately 111 thousand of inhabitants live today. Therefore, it is possible to state that despite the fact that some of the above-mentioned municipalities have history of almost thousand years – as a whole Municipal District Prague 10 is very young.
