České Budějovice

České Budějovice

Přemysla Otakara II Square   Samson Fountain   Black Tower
   

Přemysl Otakar II Square is famous for its regular square shape and an area of more than a hectare. This makes it one of the largest square town squares in the Czech Republic. It is named for the founder of the town, King Ottokar II of Bohemia, in 1265. The square was marked out at the founding of the town. It is made even more interesting by the 48 Baroque and Renaissance townhouses with arcades along its perimeter. All the houses, except the Town Hall, used to belong to the wealthiest burghers and nobility. They still stand on their medieval plots and have Gothic cores for the most part. Their present-day appearance dates to the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Since the founding of the town, the square has served as the primary landmark, a place for markets, secular and religious festivals, and executions.

The famous symbol of České Budějovice – the Samson Fountain – is located in the middle of Přemysl Otakar II Square. This grandiose Baroque work was built as part of the city renovation after the Thirty Years’ War in 1720-1727 and was intended for the distribution of water to the city’s side streets. It consists of a stone reservoir, one of the largest in the country with a diameter of 17 meters. Projecting from its center is a rectangular pedestal with four gargoyles, on which stand four Atlases holding up a round shell with a sculpture of the biblical Samson taming a lion. Samson was known for his great strength, which helped him defeat the Philistines. However, he was betrayed by his girlfriend Delilah. She disclosed the fact that his strength consisted in his long hair. She cut it off and the Philistines then easily overpowered him.

Everyone who visits České Budějovice should not miss a tour of this striking dominant feature of the city – the Black Tower. Its construction in 1550-1577 was supposed to reflect the city’s economic upswing. Led by Italian master builders, it rose to then unprecedented height of 72.25 meters.

The tower contains 6 bells, the largest being the Bummerin, weighing 3.5 tons. Nowadays it is among the most popular tourist destinations for the beautiful lookout from its gallery, located 46 meters above the ground. The splendid view of České Budějovice and its surroundings is definitely worth climbing the 225 mostly wooden stairs.
