.. Prague Castle is the largest castle complex in the world and contains all building styles from the Romanesque period to modern architecture? It has been the seat of Czech rulers (princes, kings, emperors, and presidents) for centuries, and includes, for example, the Archbishop's Cathedral of St. Vitus - the coronation and final resting place of several dynasties, and the Golden Lane, where, under Rudolf II, was the residence of many alchemists.

... the original revolving auditorium for 644 spectators, designed for summer performances of the South Bohemian Theatre and a number of guest companies, has been part of the castle park since the mid-20th century? Although the conservationists are not too enthusiastic about this non-original attraction, it still remains in place because of great public interest (over 50,000 visitors a year).

In Telč (as well as in other historical towns of the Czech Republic) a number of fairy tales and historical films were filmed? One of the most valuable is the modern fairy tale When the Cat Comes by Vojtěch Jasný from the 1960s, in which the author uses the symbolism of colours to satirically evaluate the characters of individuals and the totalitarian society of the time.

...the author of the building, the top Baroque architect Jan Blažej Santini-Eichel, used a compass much more often than a ruler when drawing up the plans? The floor plan of the church and the ambo around it is made up mainly of circles (or parts thereof), and the number five is often repeated in the construction, referring to the saints' attribute of five stars.

... the discovery of powerful veins of silver ore in the late 13th century sparked a silver rush comparable to the later gold rush in California or Alaska? Within a short time, hundreds of thousands of people from Bohemia and neighbouring countries flocked to the discovery, and local mining accounted for a full third of Europe's silver production. The silver thus greatly strengthened the importance of the Kingdom of Bohemia in Europe, and the Prague groschen minted in the Vlašský dvůr in Kutná Hora became a currency recognised in many countries for several centuries.

... a significant part of the area was not Czech or Moravian territory until 1920? The leading noble family of Liechtenstein had extensive estates on both sides of the Moravian-Austrian border. Valtice did not become part of Czechoslovakia until two years after its foundation, one of the decisive reasons being the existence of the then-important railway line between Znojmo and Breclav, which would have run in places along foreign territory without border adjustments.

... the Constituent Assembly met in the Kromeriz Castle from October 1848 to March 1849 to create a constitution for the empire guaranteeing basic human rights to all citizens in response to the revolutions taking place in several European countries, including the Austrian monarchy? However, the Diet did not reach a final conclusion; after the revolutionary sentiment in the country had subsided, the new Emperor Franz Joseph I eventually had it dispersed by the military and Austria gradually returned to an absolutist monarchy.

...Holašovice is not a preserved open-air museum, but a living village with about one hundred and forty inhabitants, and most of the listed buildings are used for permanent housing and are privately owned? Its unique preservation is due, among other things, to its location away from all main roads.

.. part of the castle is also the original classicist theatre with preserved period technology (one of the few in Europe)?  The second courtyard of the castle is transformed every year into a large concert hall with a fixed stepped auditorium and a movable roof - the castle and other places in Litomyšl and its surroundings host the International Music Festival Smetana's Litomyšl in June and July (Bedřich Smetana, one of the founders of Czech national music, was born in this town).

Inside the column there is even a miniature chapel with Old Testament scenes, where masses were actually celebrated in the past. Although only the priest himself could fit inside, the sermon could be heard in a large part of the square through specially designed windows in the column. From the chapel, a secret passage led behind the walls of the fortress town.

... Villa Tugendhat is the "main character" of Simon Mawer's famous novel "The Glass Room", which has also been adapted for film and theatre? It depicts the history of the house, where the original Jewish owners were replaced by the Gestapo, and later by Red Army soldiers, then by a rhythm school and a medical facility.  Although, according to the author, the stories of all the characters in the novel are entirely fictional, many readers consider them authentic, which has provoked a strongly worded reaction from members of the Tugendhat family who are alive today. 

... part of the Jewish town of Třebíč is also the original Jewish cemetery from the 17th century in the woods on the crest of Hrádek Hill with about three thousand stone tombstones, which is still visited by descendants of the buried mainly from abroad? The cemetery includes a ceremonial hall dating from 1903, making it the only Jewish ritual building in the world outside Israel to be listed by UNESCO. In fact, both synagogues in the Jewish town of Třebíč serve different purposes, one of them liturgical, but (like some other synagogues in our country after World War II) for the Czechoslovak Hussite Church (a specific Czech and Slovak Protestant church).

... in Jáchymov, North Bohemia, the Renaissance scholar of world importance Georgius Agricola, called the "father of mineralogy", whose twelve books on mining became the "bible" for mining and ore processing for at least two centuries, began his scientific career? Jáchymov is also associated with early breakthrough discoveries in radioactive substances (the local Svornost mine was for a long time the only source of the element radium in the world) and with the name of the American currency. The word "dollar" was created by multiple corruptions of the original 16th-century Czech coin, the Jáchymov tolar (Joachimstaler).

.. the genetic line of the Old Cladruban breed almost died out about 100 years ago, but it was saved. There are about 1200 Kladruby horses in the whole world today, most of them in the Czech Republic, and also in the Danish and Swedish royal courts.

... on the territory of the most famous spa town in the Czech Republic - Karlovy Vary - there are over eighty registered water springs springing from a depth of about 2.5 kilometres (half a dozen are in use)?  Mineral waters contain most of the elements of the periodic table. Legend has it that the local springs were discovered by accident in the mid-14th century when a hunting dog fell into a pool of hot water (the hottest local spring is Vřídlo) during a hunt, and its howl attracted riders. A permanent settlement was established around Vřídlo and in 1370 Emperor Charles IV, who had experienced the beneficial effects himself, granted town privileges.  

...very rugged terrain (360-1006 m above sea level) with deep valleys and rocky outcrops offers not only a large number of rock lookouts that allow a view of the wide surroundings but also attracts visitors with a set of Jizera Mountains monuments? These commemorate the numerous tragic deaths of loggers, victims of shootouts between poachers and gamekeepers, and suicides that this locality attracts. Many tourists focus on finding these memorials hidden in the terrain.
