Archeologický skanzen Modrá

The archaeological open-air museum in Velehrad features reconstructed dwellings, fortification walls, workshops, and agricultural buildings based on excavations from the Great Moravian period. These structures illustrate how people lived, worked, and practiced their trades during this era.

The park is based on authentic findings from the 9th century revealing residential structures, craft workshops, and religious buildings from the Great Moravian culture. These discoveries help visitors understand the development of early Slavic civilization.

The site demonstrates traditional crafts and pottery making that mirror everyday life in early Slavic communities. Visitors can observe artisans at work, gaining insight into the skills and daily routines of that era.

Visitors should prepare for grounds that are explored on foot and shaped by outdoor conditions. The best time to visit is during warmer months when all areas of the park are accessible.

The grounds also house an aquarium with freshwater fish that adds an unexpected natural element alongside the historical reconstructions. This blend of exhibits creates two distinct visitor experiences in one location.
