Sedlec-Pr�ice is c. 60 km in the Bene�ov district southwest of Prague,
has many claims to fame. The most important of these is historical: the
region was the home of V�tek of Pr�ice, the forefather of the noble Rosenberg
family, which was known by its insignia, a rose. V�tek's rose is the oldest
known insignia of a noble family in the Czech lands. Despite the fact that
Sedlec-Pr�ice is rather small, it nevertheless has more neighborhoods -
36 in all - than any other Czech city or town. Many little villages with
fantastic names in the area are considered to be a part of Sedlec-Pr�ice
- Mon�n, Chot�tice, �anovice, Myslkov, Bole��n, Vrchotice, Kva�t'ov, Kro���ek,
N�hl�k, Mr�kotice, and so on.
