About city

Hradec Králové is a city of the Czech Republic. It has about 94,000 inhabitants. It is the capital of the Hradec Králové Region. The historic centre of Hradec Králové is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument reservation, the wider centre is protected as an urban monument zone.

The city was originally named Hradec, which is a diminutive of hrad (i.e. "castle"). Later, when it was owned by Bohemian queens, the Králové attribute (genitive of králová, "queen" in Old Czech) was added. So the name literally means "queen's castle".

Hradec Králové is made up of 21 city parts and it lies at the confluence of the Elbe and the Orlice rivers.
