Rokycany, Historic town center in Rokycany, Czech Republic.

The town contains four distinct neighborhoods - Střed, Nové Město, Plzeňské Předměstí, and the village of Borek - spread across 30.67 square kilometers at 362 meters elevation.

The first documentation of Rokycany appears in the 1110 Chronica Boemorum, when the Bishop of Prague owned the settlement and used it for diplomatic discussions.

The Baroque town hall, constructed between 1804 and 1808, and the Church of Our Lady of the Snows represent the architectural heritage of Rokycany.

The Rokycany railway station provides direct connections to Prague and Klatovy, while the local economy centers around rubber product manufacturing at Hutchinson SA.

Each July, Rokycany transforms into an international gathering point as thousands attend Fluff Fest, a vegan hardcore punk festival drawing participants from across Europe.
