Písek, District capital in South Bohemia, Czech Republic.

King Ottokar II established this royal town in 1254, where settlers initially extracted gold particles from the river sand deposits.
The Film School in Písek carries forward the educational legacy that earned the municipality recognition as the South Bohemian Athens.
