The historic centre of Šestajovice is located on and around Náměstí 9. května. There is an oval green area, a chapel, a monument to those who fell in the world wars and seating. The first buildings that formed the foundation of the municipality of Šestajovice were built in these locations at the beginning of the 13th century.
