Brno in the Czech Republic. Old Brno: favorite attractions In which country is the city of Brno located?

The city in the south of the Czech Republic with the short and sonorous name Brno is not only the industrial, but also the cultural center of the republic. In terms of size, Brno is a little smaller than Prague, but it really has enough attractions to spend an unforgettable weekend or even a vacation on its streets.

What can you see in Brno?

Castles, cathedrals, squares and town halls decorate Brno in a special way. Markets and shopping centers operate in the city area, and the buildings amaze with the variety of architectural styles with a slight touch of antiquity.

The city of Brno grew around the Spielberg castle complex in ancient times. The construction of the castle dates back to the 13th century. The decree to begin construction came from King Přemysl II.

The castle had two main functions: defensive and residential. The king established his own residence in the castle. In 1645, the strong walls of the castle were useful to the Czechs; they withstood the Swedish siege without much difficulty on the part of the defenders.

In the 17th century, Shpilberg served as a prison, which was nicknamed the “Dungeon of Nations”, as political prisoners were imprisoned there.

Now the castle is both a museum and a historical monument. It regularly conducts excursions for individual tourists and tourist groups. In summer, the Spielberg gates are open to visitors seven days a week from 9 am. In winter, the day off falls on Monday.

Square, vegetable market and fountain

The square, which got its name from the vegetable market located there, is famous for its Parnassus fountain. In the center of the fountain composition you can see the goddess of Europe, followed by statues of the three powers.

The vegetable market is still active today. It is attended by locals and visitors spending their holidays in Brno.

Impressions of castles and squares are often erased from memory, but surprise from the whims of nature remains in its nooks and crannies for a really long time. When traveling around Brno, it is worth setting aside a day to visit the Moravian Karst.

Kras is a system consisting of karst caves underground. The caves are located in the reserve of the same name near the town of Blansko, which borders Brno.

The length of the underground tunnels is 25 kilometers. The total number of caves exceeds 1000, many of them are still unexplored.

The following caves are open to the public in Moravian Kras:

• Katarzynska;
• Baltsarka;
• Stolbno-Shoshuvskaya;
• Punkva.

Bats and lizards live in the dungeons of Krasus, so you should not visit these places alone. It is much safer to explore the caves as part of an excursion group.

The magnificent Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul was built in the 13th century on the site of a former Roman church. The majestic spiers and vaults of the cathedral gave solace to the residents of Brno when the city was besieged by the Swedes. Today the church is no less important for the townspeople.
