Benešov, District town in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic
Located 32 kilometers southeast of Prague, Benešov extends across the Benešov Uplands at an elevation of 368 meters above sea level.
The settlement emerged around 1050, received its first written mention between 1219 and 1222, and obtained town privileges in 1512 from the Kingdom of Bohemia.
The Church of Saint Nicholas, constructed in the 13th century, represents early Gothic architecture and underwent multiple reconstructions following historical events.
The railway connection established in 1871 positions Benešov as a transportation center between Prague and the southern regions of the Czech Republic.
The Priory College, founded in 1703, introduced formal education to the region and continues to serve as an educational institution in the present day.
