Brno

The second largest city in the Czech Republic, the centre of Moravia

Brno is an important urban monument reservation and the second largest city in the Czech Republic.

There has been continuous settlement since the arrival of the Slavs in the 6th century, through the period of the Great Moravian Empire, and to the present day. Since the end of the 13th century the city has been protected by the Špilberk Castle, which over time became the seat of the Moravian Margraves from the Luxembourg family and the Moravian regional capital. As other cities, Brno has hidden secrets, for example the underground catacombs. For tourists from all over the world the greatest attraction is the Tugendhat Villa, the most important European work of the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, which was inscribed in the UNESCO List in 2001.

Brno also has a long industrial tradition. It was one of the largest centres of the textile and engineering industries of the Habsburg monarchy. The Brno Exhibition Centre is famous for its traditionally organised international exhibitions and fairs.
