Brno Travel Guide - Czech Republic Memorable Moments
Brno (German: Brünn, Moravian dialect: Štatl) is the second largest city in the Czech Republic and the largest city in the historical Moravian region. Founded around the year 1000, Brno is located in a beautiful natural environment between South Moravian vineyards and the Moravian Karst, and is an easy drive to the nearby Austrian border.
Brno was founded about a thousand years ago, receiving city status in 1243. Surviving sieges from the Hussites in 1428 and 1430, the city also successfully defended itself from Swedish armies during the Thirty Years' War. With the original capital of Olomouc falling into Swedish hands in 1641, Brno became the seat of administration for the Margraviate of Moravia (a borderland region of the Austrian Empire), which stayed long after the war's end. The city flourished during the 19th century as it rapidly industrialized and its population exploded. Brno would later serve as the capital of the semi-autonomous Moravian Land in the First Republic of Czechoslovakia. After surviving World War II intact, the newly-installed Communist Party abolished Moravia's autonomous status to subdivide the country into regions (kraj) in 1949, ending Brno's high political prominence. Contemporary Brno is a mixture of different architectural styles, ranging from the Gothic, Baroque, Art Noveau, and Socialist. Arguably the Czech Republic's second most important cultural centre that often competes with Prague in prestige, Brno has the second largest historic preservation zone in the country (the largest in Prague, the third in nearby Olomouc). Three castles are located in the immediate proximity of the city: Špilberk (a former royal castle for the rulers of Moravia dating to the 13th century, and later an Austrian military bastion), Veveří Castle (near Brno Lake), and Líšeň Castle (to the city's east).
Unlike Prague, Brno has yet to be discovered by mass tourism, meaning that prices and crowds are both minimal and manageable. Low budget accommodation is relatively expensive, due to lack of competition. Brno is the undoubted cultural hub of Moravia, home to a number of notable Moravian institutions, e.g. Moravian Gallery, Moravian Museum, National Theatre Brno, Brno City Theatre, etc. It is a city with a long tradition in motor racing (on the Masaryk Circuit), huge exhibitions and trade fairs (in the Central European Exhibition Center), and as a vibrant university city. With 89,000 university students in a city of 380,000, Brno is the Czech Republic's largest student city by percentage of population. Since 1998, an international firework competition, the Ignis Brunensis, has been held annually every year at the turn of May and June, drawing over 100 to 200,000 visitors a year.
The most interesting places in Brno are the Brno Underground, a labyrinth of cellars including the second biggest ossuary in Europe (after the Catacombs of Paris), the city's three sounding castles, the iconic St. Peter and Paul Cathedral atop Petrov hill, the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady in the Old Brno District, St. Jacob's Church, the Moravian Museum, Lužánky Park (the oldest public park in the country), Denis Gardens, and various historical squares, churches, and palaces.
There are also other places outside the city centre worth visiting, e.g. the old Jewish cemetery in Brno-Židenice (the biggest one in Moravia), or the Marian Valley in Brno-Líšeň, a cascade of lakes between forested hills. From the north, Brno is surrounded by hills and very pleasant nature, probably the most notable place is the Moravian Karst.

Synagogue in Slavkov (Austerlitz), Czech Republic
SEE MY HISTORY GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
Slavkov u Brna (in German: Austerlitz), is a country town east of Brno in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic with a population of 5,900. The town is widely known for giving its name to the Battle of Austerlitz which actually took place some kilometers to the west of the town.
Here one can see the synagogue which was built in the mid nineteenth century and has been maintained since the murder of the Jewish population nearly seventy years ago. it was renovated in 1998. After the battle of Austerlitz, a French officer went to the synagogue and requested that a rabbi said the prayer for the dead.
At the beginning of the 13th century, the Teutonic Order built a monastery stronghold whose remains can still be seen today in the vaults of the Austerlitz Palace. The first written testimony about the place date from 1237. The Czech name Slavkov is first documented in 1361, the German name Austerlitz in 1633 and is said to be a truncation of the Czech Novosedlice (Novosedlicz, Nausedlicz), which means new settlement, although this cannot be clarified definitively. After the dissolution of the Order, the town became the property of a number of noble owners until, in 1509, the local gentry family of Kaunitz assumed control for more than 400 years.

[Cantonese] Czech Jewish Quarter and St Procopius' Basilica in Třebíč 捷克世界遺產 特热比奇犹太社区及圣普罗科皮乌斯大教堂
[ The ensemble of the Jewish Quarter, the old Jewish cemetery and the Basilica of St Procopius in Trebíc are reminders of the co-existence of Jewish and Christian cultures from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The Jewish Quarter bears outstanding testimony to the different aspects of the life of this community. St Procopius Basilica, built as part of the Benedictine monastery in the early 13th century, is a remarkable example of the influence of Western European architectural heritage in this region.
