Moravská Ostrava a Přívoz is a borough of the city of Ostrava, Czech Republic. Situated in the north-central part of the city, it comprises the city parts Moravská Ostrava, located in the southern part of the borough on the left bank of the Ostravice River, and Přívoz, located in the northern part on the right bank of the Oder River. The confluence of the two rivers is located in the northernmost part of the borough.
Moravská Ostrava was originally a separate town, which merged with surrounding municipalities, including Přívoz, on 1 January 1924,[2] and later with Slezská Ostrava in 1941.[3] On 24 November 1990, it became one of the 23 self-governing boroughs of Ostrava.[4]
The borough contains the historical city centre of Ostrava, the New City Hall, the main railway station, and the shopping centre Forum Nová Karolina.
