History
The first mention of Davl is associated with the creation of the Benedictine monastery of St. John the Baptist, founded by the Czech prince Boleslav II the Pious in 999 on the Vltava island of St. Kilian . The settlement itself probably originated before this date. In the pope's bull Clement V of 1310, Davle is called a village.
In the Middle Ages, Davle was important because of the natural position he occupied on an important waterway. Crafts (ceramics, blacksmithing, shoemaking and saddlery production) developed in Davla and its environs. In the second half of the 13th century, gold was mined at the confluence of the rivers.
The coat of arms and flag of Davle depicts the head of St. John the Baptist.
Now Davle is a tourist center. During the holiday season, the number of residents increases several times due to the rest.
