Klatovy

Klatovy lies along the Drnový Potok in the foothills of the Šumava Mountains, where the rolling Plzeň Region transitions towards the Bohemian Forest uplands. Founded as a royal town in the 13th century, it remains an important regional centre between Plzeň and the Czech-German border. Its central square is marked by the Black Tower, a Renaissance bell tower, while the former Jesuit Church of the Immaculate Conception and St Ignatius contains catacombs with naturally mummified bodies. Klatovy is also known for the Baroque pharmacy U Bílého jednorožce, preserved with its historic interior.
