Sobotka, Medieval town in Jičín District, Czech Republic.
The municipality spans across 19.31 square kilometers at an elevation of 305 meters, featuring a network of historical streets around Míru Square.
Written records from 1320 document the settlement's establishment, which received town privileges from King Vladislaus II in 1498 as part of Kost Castle estate.
