Jicin

Jičín straddles the Cidlina River in the Královéhradecký Region, and its position beside the sandstone country of the Bohemian Paradise has long connected the town with the surrounding hills. At its centre, Valdštejnovo náměstí is an arcaded square marked by the Church of St James and the Valdice Gate. In the early 17th century, Albrecht von Wallenstein reshaped Jičín as the intended capital of his Duchy of Friedland, leaving a distinctive urban ensemble. His Baroque loggia stands at the end of an avenue beyond the centre. Jičín is also associated with Rumcajs, the fictional outlaw of Czech children’s stories.
