Kroměříž, Medieval town in Zlín Region, Czech Republic

The town center features a grand Archbishop's Castle surrounded by Renaissance buildings and covered arcades along the main square.

The settlement transformed from a market village in 1107 into a significant episcopal residence after Bishop Bruno von Schauenburg established his domain in 1266.

The Archbishop's Castle houses a collection of 500 European paintings, including works by Titian, Van Dyck, and other Renaissance masters.

The town provides direct train connections to major Moravian cities and maintains a network of bicycle paths connecting to regional attractions.

The Flower Garden contains a 244-meter-long colonnade with statues of Roman gods and an octagonal rotunda decorated with frescoes.

Tourism in South Moravia: Baroque castles, limestone caves, historic monuments

South Moravia combines historic sites, natural formations, and cultural monuments that reflect centuries of history. This region of the Czech Republic is home to castles such as Vranov nad Dyjí, perched 76 meters above the Dyje River, and the aristocratic estate of Lednice with its 19th-century gardens. The Turold limestone caves near Mikulov extend 50 meters underground, while the Svatý Kopeček hill offers a vista from its 363-meter altitude. Visitors can explore ancient religious buildings such as the Sainte-Catherine Rotunda of Znojmo, dating from the 11th century with its dynastic frescoes, or the Archiepiscopal Palace Complex of Kroměříž which houses collections of paintings and geometric gardens. The region also features specialized museums like the firefighters museum in Přibyslav, the Hodonín Zoo covering 7.5 hectares, and the wine cellars of Archlebov carved into the hill. The Slavkov u Brna battlefield commemorates the events of 1805 with memorials and a military museum.
