Terezín, Fortress town in Ústí nad Labem Region, Czech Republic
The fortified town consists of a central citadel and surrounding garrison structures, covering extensive grounds near the Ohře and Elbe rivers junction.
Emperor Joseph II established this military stronghold in 1780, naming it after his mother Empress Maria Theresa to protect river crossings from Prussian advances.
During World War II, Jewish inmates in Terezín maintained intellectual activities through concerts, lectures, and performances despite extreme hardship and deprivation.
The Terezín Memorial includes multiple exhibition spaces, including the Small Fortress, Ghetto Museum, and various memorial sites open to visitors throughout the year.
The fortress complex never experienced direct military siege despite its strategic military design and extensive defensive architecture spanning 398 hectares.
