Opava, Statutory city in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic

Located along the Opava River, the city features distinct architectural elements including the Horní Square and the Co-Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Opava received town privileges in 1224 and served as the capital of the Duchy of Troppau before experiencing Hussite rule from 1427 to 1431.

The Silesian Theatre, established in 1805, and the Silesian Museum, founded in 1814, represent the main cultural institutions of this regional center.

The city maintains eight self-governing boroughs and fourteen administrative parts, with efficient transportation links to other major Czech cities.

Teva Czech Industries, established in 1883, continues to operate as one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers in the Moravian-Silesian region.
