760th anniversary of the founding of České Budějovice: The fascinating history of the city

The history of one of the most significant towns in the South Bohemian Region dates back to 1265. Its foundation is credited to Přemysl Otakar II, known as the “Iron and Gold King.”

While the process of founding Budějovice began as early as 1263, the pivotal moment occurred on March 10, 1265, when the knight Hirzo, appointed by Přemysl Otakar II to plan the town’s layout, handed over the site to the Dominicans.
