If you think that the gardens Petriceicu are Park area, you are very wrong. Now this is a broad Avenue, which is decorated with a respectable house and several famous historical buildings are included in all guidebooks about Pilsen. However, it was not always so. In the early nineteenth century there still towered city walls. They gradually took down as superfluous to enhance urban neighborhoods, and the moat surrounding these fortifications were asleep. Thus, immediately behind the Central part of Pilsen formed a large vacant lot that needed to be filled. The townspeople decided to make a Park here. So there were the gardens, which was later named Petriceicu in honor of the 35th infantry regiment. For some time he was stationed there in anticipation of hostilities.

In the mid-nineteenth century, many local wealthy bourgeois suddenly decided that the earth is in the center of the city cannot be loaned only under the trees, and began to build their mansions here. So the gardens turned into a small street, and then into a broad Avenue. But still the name of the place remained.

Gardens Petriceicu start from the city's main theatre and stretch over 600 meters towards the Patona bridge. The main structure of this Avenue is considered the magnificent Great synagogue, which was built here in 1925. Among the other attractions of the street you may notice one of the buildings of the West-Bohemian University. In the majestic classic house is the faculty of law.

In one of the houses in the gardens of Petriceicu you can see the entrance to Pilsen dungeons. However, it is securely closed from curious tourists.
