Republic Square is the main square of Pilsen's old town, laid out with the town at the end of the 13th century and measuring 168 by 191 metres. The Cathedral of St. Bartholomew stands in its centre, surrounded by Gothic, Renaissance and later houses, the Renaissance Town Hall of 1559, a Marian plague column of 1681 and modern gilded fountains.
The Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Pilsen was founded by the town's burghers in 1839, and in 1842 the Bavarian brewer Josef Groll brewed the first pale lager there. Visitors enter through the Jubilee Gate of 1892, and the guided tour shows the historic and modern brewhouses, the bottling line and the old cellars where beer matures in oak barrels.
