Stříbrná Skalice (German: Silberskalitz) is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.
The settlement was originally named Skalice hor stříbrných, i.e. "the little rock of silver mountains".
The highest point of the municipality is the peak Skalka with an elevation of 516 metres (1,693 ft).
Later that year, Skalice was besieged by the army of King Sigismund, and was conquered and burned.
In the years 1413–1415, Skalice was ruled by Kolman of Křikava, and then later became the property of the Sázava Monastery.
[3] In 1436, Sigismund pledged the town to Jan Zajímač of Kunštát, under whose family it remained until 1567.
However, due to the financial difficulties of the nobility, expansion of Stříbrná Skalice partially stopped several times in this period (1508 and 1528).
In 1573, Jaroslav Smiřický bought the town for Václav, Kateřina and Markéta, orphans of his brother.
However, the stop was on the other side of the Sázava river, so an iron truss bridge was made in 1946.
[3] The municipality is connected with the silver mining that took place in surrounding areas in 15th and 16th century.
