Even before the war, the people of Pilsen dreamed of having a university. Pilsen came closer to realizing its dream in 1945, when Edvard Beneš issued a decree allowing the establishment of a medical faculty at Charles University in response to the shortage of doctors not only in post-war Czechoslovakia. During 77 long years of moving between improvised workplaces, the faculty left its mark on many addresses throughout Pilsen before finally fulfilling its dream of a medical campus a few years ago. Follow in the footsteps of modern medicine in Pilsen on a 7.5 km long route.
