Kromeriz: Město Kroměříž - Velké náměstí
Kroměříž has served as an episcopal residence in Moravia since the Middle Ages. Set on the Morava River in the Zlín Region, the town is organized around Velké náměstí, a broad square framed by rows of historic townhouses. The Archiepiscopal Château, rebuilt after the Thirty Years’ War for the bishops of Olomouc, and its gardens have been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1998. The Flower Garden is an exceptional 17th-century formal garden, distinguished by geometric planting, arcades and a long colonnade. Kroměříž’s compact centre links this Baroque ensemble with a working Moravian town square. Inside the château, the Kroměříž Castle Picture Gallery preserves works collected by the Olomouc archbishops.

Kroměříž lies along the Morava River, where the flat, fertile Haná plain spreads across central Moravia. The town is defined by the Archbishop’s Castle and its gardens, together inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1998. The Baroque Flower Garden, laid out in the 17th century, is known for its formal geometry, colonnade and ornamental plantings, while the nearby Castle Garden has a more freely landscaped character. Once an important residence of the bishops and archbishops of Olomouc, Kroměříž pairs an orderly historic centre with a lasting ecclesiastical legacy. Velké náměstí, its main square, remains the civic focus beneath the castle tower. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of the Zlín Region connects regionally.

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. Velehrad, one of the country’s important pilgrimage places, adds another dimension to the area’s Moravian identity.

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.
