Ostrava has been systematically launching the "Program for the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Monuments and Significant Urban Buildings" since 2009. Through this program, it supports the restoration of monuments as well as significant sacred and architecturally interesting structures in the city.
This year, Ostrava commemorates 100 years since the first charitable collection held at the Christmas Tree of the Republic. The origins of this tradition in Czechoslovakia date back to 1919.
Next Thursday, 29 January, from 5 p.m., a discussion in English with the creators of the winning design for the New Bazaly stadium will take place in the Town Hall Auditorium of the Moravská Ostrava and Přívoz Municipal District Office. Its principal protagonists will be representatives of the winning studio L35 Arquitectos. Admission is free.
Representatives of the architectural firm L35 Arquitectos, whose drawing boards produced the winning design for the Nové Bazaly stadium, visited Ostrava yesterday. The firm's executive director and senior partner, Tristán López-Chicheri, and the lead architect for the New Bazaly project, Guillermo Guso, were received at the New Town Hall, toured Dolní Vítkovice, and served as the principal speakers at an evening debate within a thematic exhibition.
The exhibition of architectural designs for the New Bazaly continues until 15 February 2026. The accompanying programme shows no signs of ending either. Another intriguing event in the accompanying programme of the New Bazaly!!! exhibition – the story of the architectural competition – is ‘A Day with the Legends’.
For the third consecutive year, the Czech Indoor Gala is proud to belong to the elite Gold category of the World Athletics Indoor Tour, and the sport's biggest stars are eager to return to this event. Athletics fans can therefore look forward to an exciting spectacle and outstanding performances once again this year.
