Located just a few kilometers outside the Czech capital city of Prague, Stara Boleslav is home to some 5,300 people. Founded as an ancient Premyslid fortress in the early 10th century, it is one of the oldest towns in the country. Stara Boleslav has always been a historically important town and it is also known as the place where St. Wenceslaus, a prominent figure of the Czech history and the patron of the country, was murdered by his brother Boleslaus the Cruel in 935.

A popular tourist destination as well as a pilgrimage site, Stara Boleslav boasts many beautiful and renowned architectural jewels such as the St. Wenceslaus Basilica, the St. Clement Church and remarkable old houses designed by the famous Czech-German architect K. I. Dientzenhofer.

Hi @czechglobalhosts, Stara Boleslav is most inspiring location to mine. Low crowed better for serious visiting. There are so many historical architecture indeed houses and churches. Top up of the landscaping view impressive. Stara Boleslav has large traditional history also. Your fashionable introduction travel places however deserve to following. Thanks Thomas for give massive assistance.
indeed Prague is full of beautiful places, and stara Boleslav is one of them.
I'm amazed to know just 5300 people are living in this,
My city is the oldest city of my country and we are reaching 1.87 million people living in the city.
It is a beautiful and marvelous town and the houses have a very traditional architect. Is it having a low population because it is an old town? I really like the same color pattern being followed as for all the houses. How many tourists visit it, is there any number for that?
