A former royal town associated with silver mining and coinage, the treasury of Czech kings with the dominant features of two cathedrals , it ranks alongside the historically most important cities in the Czech Republic. From all the streets, houses and churches, we can literally breathe its long history, full of important historical events.
The historical centre of Kutná Hora with the late Gothic Church of St. Barbara and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Sedlec represents a uniquely preserved medieval urban structure with a number of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque houses. Other important monuments also include the Italian Court, the late Gothic burgher Stone House, the Church of St. James, the Jesuit College and the monastery of the Order of St. Ursula.
The Italian Court used to be the temporary seat of the Czech kings.
