Litomyšl lies along the Loučná River, where the rolling uplands of eastern Bohemia meet the historic route between Bohemia and Moravia. Its Renaissance château, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, is recognised for façades covered with thousands of sgraffito panels; the complex also includes an 18th-century theatre. Composer Bedřich Smetana was born here in 1824, and the annual Smetana’s Litomyšl festival keeps his music at the centre of the town’s cultural calendar. Arcades around the main square and the château grounds give the compact centre a distinctive architectural character.
