Olomouc - Introduction

Olomouc is one of the oldest towns in the country, and is the second largest monument reservation in the Czech Republic. Its dominant feature is the Holy Trinity Column, which in the year 2000 was entered in the UNESCO List of protected monuments. The town is the centre of the Olomouc region, the archbishopric and Palacký University. Olomouc is a cultural, sporting and social centre of Moravia, a popular tourist destination and a starting point for travel around Central Moravia

Holy Trinity Column

This memorial column, erected in the early years of the 18th century, is the most outstanding example of a type of monument specific to central Europe. In the characteristic regional style known as ‘Olomouc Baroque’ and rising to a height of 35 m, it is decorated with many fine religious sculptures, the work of the distinguished Moravian artist Ondřej Zahner.
