Klatovy, Historical municipality in Plzeň Region, Czech Republic.
The town spreads across an elevation of 405 meters with numerous architectural monuments, including churches, towers, and preserved buildings spanning multiple centuries.
King Ottokar II established Klatovy as a royal town between 1260 and 1263, transforming it from a small settlement on the trade route to Bavaria.
The Black Tower, rising above the town center, represents the architectural mastery of the 16th century and functions as a central observation point.
The municipality contains thirty districts, including Beňovy, Čínov, and Dehtín, with comprehensive public transportation connecting all residential areas.
The underground catacombs beneath Klatovy preserve mummified bodies of Jesuit monks and nobility through a natural ventilation system from the 17th century.
