Prostějov

 Welcome to my presentation of Prostějov as a town and its environment!

At first I would like to describe the most important sights of this town and then I will talk about the most interresting sights of the region of Prostějov.

= The town of Prostějov = Prostějov is a town with very cute city centre as you can see on the picture bellow. It lies in South Moravia. It has got 45780 inhabitants. It is a town known for its fashion industry. The town comes into existence in 1141 as a small settlement of Prostějovice, deriving its name from Lord Prostěj. The first written records about the town, also referred to as the "Jerusalem of Hana", date back to the 1st half of the 12th century.

In this old city centre you can find a lot of interesting sights. One of the oldest is Church of Holy Cross.

Among other sights, there is the Prostějov Castle. (from 16th century, in the Renaissance style with sgraffito decoration)

Today, the main cultural and community centre and one of the architectonic dominants of Prostějov is National House. 

The Renaissance architecture of Italian builders of the 1520s and 1530s can also be seen in the former town-hall. It now houses the Museum of Prostějov.

The centre of the town is dominated by the building of the new town-hall.

And others... There are some famous sights in close villages(up to 20 km) and it would be a pity not to mention them.
