I must confess I'm not fond of older cards or repruduction of older pictures but this one is ok.
Litoměřice is a city in the north part of the Czech Republic, approximately 64 km (40 mi) northwest of Prague.
A plethora of natural and cultural landmarks with a well-developed network of
footpaths make Litoměřice a popular destination for visitors to this corner of
Bohemia. Here, at the confluence of the Labe and Ohře rivers, in the picturesque
region of the Czech Central Mountains, lies one of the oldest and most beautiful
Czech towns, the royal town of Litoměřice, whose population nowadays is almost
26,000 people. As mute witness to the historic glory of Royal Litoměřice stand
Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, protected under an urban preservation
order since the year 1978. - in: http://www.litomerice.cz/eng/
