Hradec Králové, Regional capital in northeastern Bohemia, Czech Republic
Hradec Králové stands at the meeting point of the Elbe and Orlice rivers, with its old town perched on a sandstone elevation between the waterways.
The city received municipal rights in 1225 and later became a dowry town for Queen Elizabeth Richeza, wife of Bohemian King Wenceslaus II and Rudolf III Habsburg.
The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and the 72-meter White Tower form the central architectural elements of the Large Square, displaying Gothic and Renaissance styles.
Direct trains connect Prague to Hradec Králové in one hour and forty minutes, offering regular service throughout the day from the capital city.
The Petrof piano factory, established in 1864, continues manufacturing instruments in Hradec Králové, maintaining the city's musical instrument production legacy.
