Říčany, Administrative center in Prague-East District, Czech Republic
Říčany extends over hills and valleys at 341 meters elevation, incorporating seven distinct districts across the southeastern outskirts of Prague.
The town received municipal rights in 1289, and a stone castle was constructed between 1260 and 1270, which later fell into ruins during the Hussite Wars.
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, dating from 1270 and reconstructed in Baroque style, stands near a 1699 Marian column with a golden Virgin Mary statue.
The Prague-Vienna railway and D1 motorway connect Říčany to major cities, while six kindergartens and four primary schools serve the growing population of 16,775 residents.
Říčany has maintained its position as the top-rated Czech municipality for quality of life according to national surveys for six consecutive years.
