Kolin

Kolín straddles the Elbe in Central Bohemia, a position that established it as a royal trading town on one of the Czech lands’ great river corridors. Its historic centre rises from the riverbank to Karlovo náměstí, where the Gothic Church of St Bartholomew dominates the square and reflects the work of master builder Peter Parler in the 14th century. Kolín’s synagogue and Jewish cemetery recall a community that shaped local urban life for centuries. The town also belongs to the fertile Polabí lowland, a region of fields and river settlements east of Prague. See how Kolín fits within the broader Elbe region by browsing webcams nearby.
