Čáslav, Medieval town in Kutná Hora District, Czech Republic

The town center of Čáslav contains preserved Gothic fortifications, including the cylindrical Otakar's Tower and one-third of the original defensive walls.

During the Hussite period in 1421, the Bohemian parliament convened in Čáslav to establish a new government, marking a significant political transformation.

The Čáslav Town Museum, established in 1864, stands as one of Bohemia's earliest regional museums, preserving local artifacts in its 1884 building.

The town connects to major cities through the Prague-Žďár nad Sázavou railway line and houses an active Czech Air Force base northeast of the center.

A section of Hussite general Jan Žižka's skull, discovered in 1910 at the parish church, remains on display in the dedicated Žižka Hall of Čáslav Town Hall.
