Brno látnivalói

Brno Essentials

Brno offers a blend of architectural styles, from the UNESCO-listed functionalism of Villa Tugendhat to the medieval Špilberk Castle. The city’s history is preserved in its unique underground sites, including the Labyrinth beneath the Zelný Market and Europe’s second-largest ossuary at St. James Church. Central squares like Freedom Square and Zelný trh showcase landmarks like the controversial black stone astronomical clock and the Old Town Hall with its legendary dragon. Religious history is highlighted by the mummified monks in the Capuchin Crypt and the twin spires of the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul.
