Svitavy

Among the cities of the Pardubice Region, Svitavy stands out for its exceptionally long, arcaded main square. The Svitava River rises in the town before running south towards Brno, while Náměstí Míru forms the historic centre with a sequence of burgher houses and covered walkways. A notable landmark is the Ottendorfer Library, built in 1892 in an elaborate historicist style. Svitavy was also the birthplace of Oskar Schindler, the industrialist remembered for saving more than a thousand Jews during the Holocaust.
