Klatovy are situated at the foot of the Sumava mountains - one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the Czech Republic. Its location gave rise to the frequently used epithet - the Gate of the Sumava mountains.
With the population of 23.000 Klatovy is the second largest town of the Plzen region.
Tourists are nowadays attracted by a lot of sights situated on and around the town square.
The White Tower was built in 1581 as a belfry and entrance gate to a town cemetery, which was placed next to the Archdean Church. After the 1758 fire it was built higher and modified into today's shape.
The western portal (towards the square) originally decorated the entrance in the church. In its top there is a relief of the Virgin Mary of Klatovy.
