The village of Nepomuky is an administrative part of Stará Říše.
Stará Říše is located about 24 kilometres (15 mi) south of Jihlava. It lies in the Křižanov Highlands. The highest point is the hill Veselský vrch at 712 m (2,336 ft) above sea level. There are several fishponds around the market town.
The first written mention of Stará Říše is from 1257. It was a settlement located on a frequented trade route. In 1589, Stará Říše was promoted to a market town by Emperor Rudolf II. In 1758, a large fire destroyed almost all of Stará Říše, and all representative buildings except the school had to be rebuilt.[2]
The I/23 road from Třebíč to Jindřichův Hradec passes through the market town.
The main landmark of Stará Říše is the Church of All Saints. It was built in the Baroque style after 1758.[2][5]
