Stará Boleslav, Medieval pilgrimage site in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic
Stará Boleslav contains several religious buildings, including the Church of the Assumption and the Romanesque Basilica of Saint Wenceslaus at 169 meters elevation.
Duke Boleslaus I transformed the settlement in the 10th century by replacing wooden fortifications with stone walls and establishing it as a strategic stronghold.
The Gothic relief Palladium in the Church of the Assumption represents one of the most valuable religious artifacts in the Czech Republic.
The D10 motorway and two railway lines provide direct connections between Stará Boleslav and Prague, making it accessible for visitors and residents.
The Collegiate Chapter of Saints Cosmas and Damian, established in 1039, maintains its position as the oldest existing chapter in Bohemia.
