Olomouc

The landscape around Olomouc is the level, fertile Haná plain beside the Morava River, which has shaped both the city’s layout and its agricultural economy. As the historic centre of Moravia, Olomouc retains a compact core of squares, churches and former fortifications rather than the scale of a modern capital. Upper Square is dominated by the Holy Trinity Column, a UNESCO World Heritage monument built between 1716 and 1754. Nearby, the Town Hall’s astronomical clock is noted for its postwar socialist-realist mosaic. Palacký University, founded in 1573, gives the city a strong student presence.
