It was founded in the Middle Ages on an extensive silver ore field. By the 14th century it had become the second most significant city of the kingdom after Prague, a status maintained until the 16th century. The city’s most striking monuments were built during this prosperous period.
You will visit among others the impressive St. Barbara church, patron saint of miners, a major gem of late Gothic architecture in Bohemia. In the historic center, remains from medieval times are present everywhere: you will admire in particular the Italian Court, formerly house to the King’s agent responsible for overlooking the silver mining.
Near the historic center you will make a stop at the astonishing Ossuary Chapel in Sedlec: it is entirely decorated with skulls and bones, a strong reminder of the transience of human life...
