Stařeč (German : Startsch) is a market town in Třebíč District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,700 inhabitants.
The village of Kracovice is an administrative part of Stařeč.
Stařeč is located about 3 kilometres (2 mi) southwest of Třebíč and 27 km (17 mi) southeast of Jihlava. It lies in the Jevišovice Uplands. The highest point is the hill Zadní hora at 634 m (2,080 ft) above sea level. The stream Stařečský potok flows through the market town.
The first written mention of Stařeč is from 1259, but the village may have already appeared in the foundation deed of Třebíč Monastery from 1101. In 1499, Stařeč was first mentioned as a market town. In 1534, it was promoted to market town again, so it probably lost this status briefly during this period. [2]
