The city of Olomouc

The city of Olomouc ranks amongst the greatest historical treasures of the Czech Republic. The first written reference to the city comes from the 11th century. The former Moravian capital remains the archbishop´s and the university seat up to the present day. The urban conservation area surprises its visitors with its richness of architectural styles, documenting the city development throughout the centuries. The Premyslide palace, standing next to the Gothic St. Wenceslas cathedral, counts among National cultural monuments. Besides a number of other churches, one of the city's dominant edifices is unquestionably the authentic Gothic town hall with an astronomical clock, situated on the Upper Square. This square is also the site of the monumental sculptural group of the Holiest Trinity, listed as a part of the UNESCO cultural heritage since 10 December 2000. The sculptural group stands amongst the rich complex of Baroque monuments, together with the integral collection of six fountains.
