Hradec Králové is one of the oldest and historically most significant Czech cities. For centuries, it was one of the dowry towns of Czech queens. It has about 91,000 inhabitants. It is the capital of the Hradec Králové Region. The historical center of Hradec Králové is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument reservation. The center is saved as an urban monument zone.
Hradec Králové lies at the confluence of the Elbe and the Orlice rivers. It is located in the East Elbe Table flatland, in the eastern part of the Polabí lowlands. The municipal territory is rich in small fish ponds. The highest point is the hill Slatina, 281 meters (922 ft).
The first written mention of a castle named Hradec is in Chronica Boemorum, written in 1119-1125, when the castle's record is associated with the year 1091. The document from 1073 mentioned Hradec is a forgery from the 12th century. The first written mention of the settlement of Hradec is from 1225, and it was already referred to as a city. In 1306, Hradec became a dowry town ruled by Bohemian queens. It was the residence of Elizabeth Richeza of Poland in 1308-1318 or Elizabeth of Pomerania in 1378-1393. In the 14th century, thanks to the presence of the queens, the city became a military and political center of a region with a high level of education and culture.
Extensive fires in 1290, 1339, and 1407 accelerated the reconstruction of the city. In 1420, during the Hussite Wars, the town was conquered by the Hussites and became their military center. In 1423, the Hussites completely destroyed the castle where the queens used to live. During the rule of King George of Poděbrady, the city experienced a new period of economic, political, and cultural prosperity.
The development ended in 1547 when Hradec Králové joined the campaign against Emperor Ferdinand I, and as a result, many of its properties were confiscated, and its privileges were taken away. The city did not recover economically until the end of the 16th century. At this time, the houses were rebuilt in the Renaissance style.[5]
Hradec Králové was hit hard by the Thirty Years' War. It was conquered by the Swedish army in 1639 and several more times in the following years. The city was depopulated and almost destroyed at the end of the war. However, the town recovered and acquired a Baroque character in the 17th and early 18th centuries. During the War of the Austrian Succession, the city was again involved in the war due to its strategic location.
In 1766, Joseph II decided to build a large modern military fortress in the city. Its construction changed the character of the town and its surroundings, some suburbs were demolished, and the inhabitants moved into newly established settlements. A nearby hill was dismantled to build the massive walls, and the riverbed of both the Elbe and the Orlice were changed. A complete defense infrastructure was constructed inside the walls. The fortress was finished in 1789 and occupied 320 hectares (790 acres), but it was never used in the war during its existence.
In the mid-19th century, industrialization began, and several industrial enterprises were founded inside the fortifications. The Battle of Königgrätz, the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian War, took place on 3 July 1866 near Hradec Králové. This event is commemorated in the famous "Königgrätzer Marsch". Moreover, the struggle put an end to the age of fortifications. The fortress was formally abolished in 1884 and gradually demolished between 1893 and 1914. The last remnants were destroyed between 1929 and 1930.
In 1884, a then-unique international competition for the city's regulatory plan was announced. In the 1890s, several representative buildings (monastery, synagogue, high school, etc.) were built. Before World War I, the harmonious development of the city and its high architectural level were influenced primarily by the architect Jan Kotěra. In the 1920s, his pupil, another prominent Czech architect Josef Gočár, became the leading figure in the city's development. His regulatory plan from 1926-to 1928 became the basis for the construction activity in the years to come. The urban development of Hradec Králové in the 1920s and 1930s was also appreciated abroad, and the city was nicknamed the "Salon of the Republic."

I spent my high school years living in this town. That was back in the 90's. It is beautiful and is a clean city.
Yeah, I love this town, those cascades in the old city, the beautiful park at the confluence of the rivers. Glad you enjoyed the video. ✋😊
Уютный милый городок, чистые улицы, красивые, почти пряничные домики, чудесный парк, цветущие магнолии, спокойная гладь реки, звук шагов по дорожке - все так умиротворяет! Благодарю за прекрасную прогулку
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀✋🌻
Vladimir, thank you for a very informative, beautiful walk through this ancient city. I was there once, and now I'm back there again thanks to you! The emotions experienced once flooded in! I really want to get to the Czech Republic again, but alas.
Glad you enjoyed it, Vladimir! 😀🌻
Wow it’s beautiful!
🖐️😊❤️🇨🇿
imagine people watching this video in 50 years commenting on how everyone in these videos will be in their 70s and 80s. Everyone enjoy your lives now while you are young. I hope everyone gets what they want out of life!
Maybe! 😂 If CZcams will work at this time 😀
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you."
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Thank you!
A very beautiful and cozy city.
I'm happy that you liked it! 🖐😀🍺
