Domažlice is a pleasant historic town in Western Bohemia, recognized as the capital of the unique Chod ethnographic region. The town is centered around a pretty elongated market square lined with Renaissance and Baroque houses with arched walkways. A dominant feature is the 13th-century Chod Castle, which now serves as a museum documenting the region's resilient history, folk costumes, and distinctive ceramics. Visitors are often drawn to the leaning tower of the Church of St. Bartholomew, which stands 59 meters tall and has a noticeable tilt. Every August, Domažlice hosts the Chod Festival, one of the largest folklore events in the Czech Republic, celebrating local bagpipe music, traditional dances, and the iconic "Chodské koláče" pastries. The well-preserved medieval town gates further enhance the atmosphere of this historic urban monument.
