Ostrov svatého Kiliána, River island at the confluence of Vltava and Sázava rivers, Czech Republic.
The three-hectare island stretches 400 meters from north to south, featuring steep shores protected by stone embankments against water erosion.
The Benedictine monastery of Saint John the Baptist, established in 999, operated on the island until its destruction by Hussite forces in 1420.
Archaeological excavations on the island revealed remains of a Romanesque basilica, floor tiles, and tombstones of 14th-century abbots.
The island requires boat access as no bridges connect it to the mainland, with designated landing spots including a dock and beach area.
The ruins of the monastery represent the second oldest male monastic establishment in the Czech lands, founded by Duke Boleslaus II.
