Písek is colloquially called "The Athens of the South", even though Athens is located much further south, because it has many high schools and schools of higher education, e.g. the Film School in Písek. Up to the last decades of 19th century Písek was a centre of the large autonomous Práchen Region (also Práchenský kraj) (today's Prachatice, Písek and Strakonice Districts and parts of Príbram, Klatovy, Ceské Budejovice and Plzen-South Districts).
