Prachatice, Historic trade center in South Bohemia, Czech Republic
The central square of Prachatice features Renaissance buildings decorated with intricate sgraffito art and painted facades dating from the 16th century.
During the medieval period, Prachatice gained wealth through its position on the Golden Salt Path, a vital trade route connecting Bohemia to Bavaria.
The town maintains a collection of Renaissance and Gothic architecture, with the Church of St. James displaying period religious artifacts and decorations.
Visitors can reach Prachatice by regular bus services from Prague and České Budějovice, with the journey taking approximately three hours from the capital.
The town hall contains a 16th-century astronomical clock that displays the phases of the moon and positions of planets alongside the time.
