Uherske Hradiste: Masarykovo náměstí
Uherské Hradiště lies along the Morava River in the Slovácko region, its position in the river plain made it a fortified royal town on the historic Hungarian frontier. Founded in 1257 by King Přemysl Otakar II, it remains one of south-eastern Moravia’s principal urban centres. Masaryk Square forms the civic heart: a broad paved space bordered by mature trees and historic town buildings, with streets leading into the older core. The town is closely identified with Slovácko’s folk traditions and wine culture, while the annual Summer Film School brings a contemporary cultural dimension to the centre. Together, the square and surrounding streets give Uherské Hradiště a distinctly Moravian public character.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
