The map
Hradec Králové stands at the confluence of the Elbe, known here as the Labe, and the Orlice in north-eastern Bohemia. The historic centre occupies a low hill between the two rivers, and the water shapes much of the city's plan, with both rivers winding through parks and riverside paths.
For much of its history the town was hemmed in by fortifications. When they were removed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the space was used for a planned expansion, most notably under architect Josef Gočár, whose scheme gave the city a ring of boulevards, radial avenues and consistent modernist buildings. The city became known as the salon of the republic.
A Hradec Králové map poster shows both layers clearly: the dense medieval streets and elongated Great Square on the hill, the ring road that replaced the walls and the orderly interwar districts beyond, all held within the curves of two rivers.
The Elbe and the Orlice meet close to the historic centre, their curving courses and green banks framing the old town on the map.
A boulevard ring follows the line of the former fortifications, separating the old town from the planned modern city around it.
The long historic square on the hilltop sits at the centre of a compact medieval street pattern, surrounded by the cathedral and the White Tower.
