Jičín, Medieval district town in Hradec Králové Region, Czech Republic
Located at an elevation of 287 meters, Jičín features a rectangular central square surrounded by Renaissance and Baroque buildings with arcades.
During the Thirty Years' War, Albrecht von Wallenstein transformed Jičín into the capital of his Duchy of Friedland with substantial architectural modifications.
The Regional Museum in Valdštejnský Castle presents exhibitions about local history, traditional crafts, and the connection to fairy tale character Rumcajs.
The town serves as a transportation hub with railway connections to Prague and Turnov, plus two major roads I/16 and I/35 intersecting here.
A long linden tree alley connects the historical center with the Valdštejn loggia, creating a remarkable architectural axis through the landscape.
