Litomerice is one of the oldest and most significant towns in Bohemia. It is located in the fertile countryside near the Labe and Ohr<caron>e rivers, north of Prague. As early as the 11th century, the Premyslids founded a capitulary with a Romanesque basilica here, which was rebuilt in the Baroque period into a bishop’s residence with the Cathedral of St. Stephen. On the town square we can see numerous examples of chiefly Renaissance architecture (the town hall, the museum, the House “U c<caron>erného orla,” the House “Kalich”). The father and son Broggi led the Baroque development of the town. Litomerice has recently become known for its annual agricultural expo, “Zahrada C<caron>ech” (the Garden of Bohemia).
