With a size of 552 by 627 feet (168 m × 191 m) it is one of the largest medieval squares in the Czech lands. Plzeň as a town appears at the end of the 13th century, the square existing since then. Around the oblong square regular blocks of houses delimitated by a rectangular network of streets were built. Archaeologists have identified wooden pavement from the 13th century and another three layers of pavement from the 14th century. The square was cobblestoned in 1859. The stones were replaced by asphalt cover in the 20th century; this replaced again with cobblestones during 2005-2007 reconstruction. In the beginning of the 16th century the water supply became critical. A water tower with a mechanical pump was erected, the water being stored in a leaden reservoir and fed through wooden pipes to public fountains at the main square. A graveyard had existed on the square since the town was established until 1789, when Emperor Joseph II ordered to close such graveyards.

The Franciscan Monastery is located near the Main Square in Plzeň, Czech Republic. Originally belonging to the Minorites, the later Franciscan monastery was founded at the end of the 13th century. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Chapterhouse and Chapel of St. Barbara also belong to the monastery complex. The Franciscan church and monastery are among the city's oldest buildings and, for all the calamities of the Hussite era and Thirty Years' War, have, in essence, preserved their original early Gothic form.

The siege of Pilsen lasted from 14 July 1433 to 9 May 1434 and was an important encounter of the Hussite Wars. Hussite troops led by Prokop the Great had unsuccessfully besieged the Catholic city of Pilsen for nine months and twenty three days. Failure to capture one of the last major Catholic cities in Bohemia along with the fall of New Town was a huge blow for the Hussite groups that foreshadowed their decisive defeat in the Battle of Lipany.
