Valasske Mezirici: Náměstí
Valašské Meziříčí combines the scale of a regional town with the close texture of an old Moravian centre, reflecting its position at the meeting of the Rožnovská and Vsetínská Bečva rivers, which form the Bečva. Náměstí is the civic core: a broad paved square bordered by townhouses, with a monumental column and planted edges. The present town was created in 1924 through the union of Valašské Meziříčí and Krásno nad Bečvou. Its name places it in Moravian Wallachia, a region whose folk traditions remain an important part of local identity. The town also serves the surrounding Bečva valley, where railway and road routes follow the river corridor towards the Beskids.

Centred on the industrial city of Zlín and the valleys of eastern Moravia, Zlínský kraj developed into a distinct region of Czechia. Zlín is closely associated with the Bata shoe company, whose factory-led expansion gave the city its notable Functionalist architecture. To the east, the White Carpathians follow the Slovak border, while the Morava River crosses lowlands near Uherské Hradiště.

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.
