Sulice is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,600 inhabitants.
The villages of Hlubočinka, Nechánice and Želivec are administrative parts of Sulice.
Sulice is located about 12km (07miles) south of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is the hill Mandava at 480m (1,580feet) above sea level. There are several small fishponds in the territory.
The first written mention of Sulice is from 1282. Nechánice was first mentioned in 1349 and Želivec in 1402. Until the end of the 17th century, Sulice was owned by various lower noblemen. After 1696, Sulice was annexed to the Dobřejovice estate, which remained so until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1849.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
On the Mandava hill is a concrete monument to Jan Hus from 1931, which also includes a high observation tower.[3]
