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.

The annual Šrámkova Sobotka festival brings together literature enthusiasts to celebrate Czech language and speech in honor of writer Fráňa Šrámek.

The town maintains connections with Hradec Králové and Prague through regional roads, while offering municipal services to its 2,420 residents.

The Šolc Farmhouse from 1811 represents regional folk architecture with wooden elements and structural features characteristic of Bohemian rural construction.
