The town Písek is the third largest town in South Bohemia; it is an important cultural and economical centre of the region.

The northwest corner of the main square, is the beautifully decorated façade of the Town Hall. This Late Baroque building, still serving as the city's administrative centre, was built from 1740 to 1765 and is the work of architects V. Jermár, A. Müller, and F. Fanner. From this representative two-storey building there are two towers that stand out, each of them bearing a clock on all four sides. Between the towers is a triangular tympanum bearing the city coat of arms.
