Beroun

Beroun, known in German as Beraun, is a town in the Central Bohemian Region of Czechia with about 22,000 inhabitants. It is located at the confluence of the Berounka and Litavka rivers, in the countryside south-west of the capital. The town forms a conurbation with Králův Dvůr, which was formerly a part of Beroun and is now a separate municipality, so the two settlements share one built-up area. The historic town centre is well preserved and is protected as an urban monument zone, which gives Beroun a recognised place among the Czech towns valued for their surviving old centres.
