Nymburk (IPA: [ˈnɪmburk]) is a city in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, located 45 km east of Prague on the Labe River. It is also home to the Czech men's basketball team ČEZ Basketball Nymburk. Among the best preserved city fortifications are the ramparts of the city of Nymburk, founded by King Přemysl Otakar II. At the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries the city was protected by ramparts with regularly spaced towers with pyramid roofs. Entry into the city was protected by two gate towers and the Labe Gate was guarded by two towers. Nymburk lies in the Labe plains, and to this day river water runs through the two moats that surround it.
