Kroměříž

Kroměříž is a town in the Zlín Region featuring a Renaissance castle at its center and arcaded walkways around the main square. The layout includes the castle, surrounding formal gardens, and the historic market square connected by covered passages.

The settlement began as a market village in the 12th century and became an episcopal stronghold when a bishop established his seat there in the 13th century. The castle was later rebuilt and expanded, transforming the town into a baroque-style residence over subsequent centuries.

The castle houses one of Central Europe's finest art collections, with paintings acquired over several centuries by successive archbishops. Visitors can view works that reflect the tastes and connections of the ecclesiastical rulers who once lived here.

The town is accessible by train and has bike paths connecting to nearby attractions in the region. Most attractions in the center are within walking distance, making it easy to explore on foot.

The Flower Garden features a 244-meter colonnade lined with statues of Roman gods, creating a striking covered walkway. An octagonal pavilion with frescoed walls sits at the heart of this formal garden layout.
