Among the towns of the Plzeň Region, Přeštice stands out for the Přeštice Black-Pied pig, a traditional Czech breed named for the town. The settlement lies on the Úhlava River, south of Plzeň, amid the gently rolling countryside of western Bohemia. Its leading landmark is the Baroque Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, designed by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer; the building’s twin towers form a distinctive focal point in the town centre. Přeštice also serves as a local hub for the surrounding farming communities, making it a useful stop while exploring the region beyond Plzeň.
