The Municipal Orchards

The historical centre of Pilsen is surrounded on three sides by a belt of orchards, which have been established gradually since the beginning of the 19th century in the locations of the demolished town fortifications and the filled-in moat . Statues and memorials in remembrance of important persons of the town are located in an environment of majestic trees and interesting park designs in the Smetana, Kopecký, Šafařík and Křižík orchards.
