Okrouhlo is a municipality and village in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
The village of Zahořany is an administrative part of Okrouhlo.
The name is derived from the Czech word okrouhlý (i.e. 'rounded'). According to one theory, it was the shape of the charcoal piles that were built here. According to another theory, the name was derived from the shaping of the wood used to support the shafts of the nearby gold mines.[2]
Okrouhlo is located about 10km (10miles) south of Prague. It lies in the Prague Plateau. The highest point is at 378m (1,240feet) above sea level. The stream Zahořanský potok flows along the eastern and southern municipal border.
The first written mention of Okrouhlo is in a deed of St. George's Convent at Prague Castle from 1228, according to which the village is a property of the Ostrov Monastery in Davle.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
Okrouhlo is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a homestead that is a valuable example of the original village architecture.[3]
