Velehrad, Religious pilgrimage site near Uherské Hradiště, Czech Republic.
The Basilica of the Assumption of Mary with Saints Cyril and Methodius stands as the central structure of this religious complex in Moravia.
In 1205, Moravian Margrave Vladislaus III established a Cistercian monastery, which became the first of its kind in the entire Moravian region.
The basilica holds regular religious ceremonies and attracts thousands of pilgrims annually, maintaining centuries-old Catholic traditions in the Czech Republic.
The municipality offers guided tours of the monastery complex, including access to the underground lapidarium displaying original Romanesque architectural elements.
The King's Table, a limestone memorial within the grounds, represents one of the few megalithic dolmens found in this part of Europe.
