Střelecký Island (Czech: Střelecký ostrov — meaning Archer's Island) is an island in the Vltava in Prague, Czech Republic. It is accessible from Legion Bridge.
History
The island was only accessible by ferry until 1841, when the Most císaře Františka I. bridge was connected. The first slet of the Sokol movement was held here in 1882. In 1901 Legion Bridge replaced Most císaře Františka I as the island's connection to the rest of the city.[1]
