The historic center of the town of Český Krumlov in Czech Republic has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage since 1992. According to UNESCO: "Situated on the banks of the Vltava river, the town was built around a 13th-century castle with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. It is an outstanding example of a small central European medieval town whose architectural heritage has remained intact thanks to its peaceful evolution over more than five centuries."
Kutná Hora: one of the Czech Republic’s most fascinating UNESCO World Heritage towns. During the Middle Ages, this Bohemian town became a wealthy silver-mining center, rivaling Prague in wealth, political influence, and artistic ambition, leaving behind a remarkable architectural legacy.
Founded in the 13th century following the discovery of silver, Kutná Hora grew into one of the wealthiest cities in the Kingdom of Bohemia, producing a significant share of Europe’s silver. In the 14th century, it was elevated to a royal city and became home to the royal mint at the Italian Court (Vlašský dvůr), where Bohemian coins were minted.
