When Pilsen’s central square was first conceived it was the largest city plaza in all of Europe.
All around are elegant gothic and renaissance buildings, with many of Pilsen’s most significant monuments such as the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew, the Town Hall and the Plague Column.
If there’s a big event taking place in Pilsen then you can be sure that there will be something worth seeing in the square. During the Pilsen Liberation Festival in early-May war veterans complete their parade here with a display of vintage military vehicles and hardware.
