Střížovice is a municipality and village in Plzeň-South District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
Střížovice is located about 14km (09miles) south of Plzeň. It lies in the Švihov Highlands. The highest point is at 526m (1,726feet) above sea level. The Úslava River flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Střížovice is from 1379. Until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848, the village was divided into two parts with different owners. One part belonged to the Dolní Lukavice estate and the second part belonged to the Nebílovy (and later Šťáhlavy) estate.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
Střížovice is poor in monuments. The only cultural monument is a memorial cross from around 1825.[3]
