The town's name literally means "toll". It refers to its history and location on an important trade route from Prague to Bavaria where the toll was collected.[2]
Geography
Mýto is located about 11 km (7 mi) northeast of Rokycany and 24 km (15 mi) east of Plzeň. The municipal territory extends into three geomorphological regions. The central part with the built-up area lies in the western tip of the Hořovice Uplands. The southern part lies in the Brdy Highlands and includes the highest point of Mýto, the hill Ostrý vrch at 641 m (2,103 ft) above sea level. A small part in the north lies in the Křivokrát Highlands.
The Holoubkovský Stream flows through the town. The streams feeds two notable bodies of water in the municipal territory, the ponds Štěpánský and Podmýtský.
History
The first written mention of Mýto and its older church is from 1296. The original settlement was located on a hill around the Church of Saint Stephen. Gradually people began to settle in the area of today's Mýto, where the Church of Saint John the Baptist was built in 1350. At the beginning of the 14th century Mýto became a market town, and in 1905 it became a town.[2]
The town is located on a regional railway line leading from Beroun to Plzeň and Klatovy.
The D5 motorway passes through the northern part of the territory.

Church of Saint John the Baptist
The Gothic Church of Saint Stephen was built in the 13th century and its Baroque tower dates from the 18th century. Today it serves social and cultural purposes.[2]
The Church of Saint John the Baptist was originally a chapel consecrated to John the Evangelist. During the Thirty Years' War the church was burned down, and in 1680–1682 it was built once again. Many of its Gothic elements were rebuilt in the Baroque style.[2]
