Built around the confluence of the Jihlava, Oslava and Rokytná rivers, Ivančice grew into a historic town in South Moravia. Its past is linked to medieval silver mining, which helped it gain the status of a royal town in the 13th century. The compact centre is anchored by Palackého Square and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Ivančice is also the birthplace of Art Nouveau artist Alfons Mucha, born here in 1860; the town commemorates him in an exhibition at the Old Town Hall. River valleys and wooded slopes place it in the wider landscape between Brno and the Moravian interior.
