Plzeň, Industrial city in western Czech Republic
The city stands at the confluence of four rivers - Mže, Úhlava, Úslava, and Radbuza, forming the center of the Plzeň Region at 322 meters elevation point.
Founded in 1295 by King Wenceslaus II, Plzeň remained a Catholic stronghold during the Hussite Wars and developed into the third largest Bohemian settlement by the 14th century.
The Cathedral of St. Bartholomew contains the highest church spire in the Czech Republic, reaching 102 meters, while the Renaissance Town Hall dates back to 1556.
Public transportation in Plzeň combines an integrated network of trams, trolleybuses, and regular buses that connect all 25 administrative districts of the city.
The Pilsner Urquell Brewery, established in 1842, created the original Pilsner beer style and maintains an extensive network of underground cellars for fermentation and storage.
