About 60 km eastward from Prague you find a medieval town which was in the 14^th and 15^th century the second most important town in Bohemia after Prague. Kutná Hora was famous for its silver mines and as an occasional residential town of Czech kings. When Wenceslas IV, son of the Emperor Charles IV, lived there, the town started to develop and expand because many European architects worked at the royal court. Rich silver mines made it possible to build beautiful town houses, a new cathedral, or to enlarge the royal palace. In Kutná Hora was established the first central coin mint and the valuable Czech coins (Czech groš) have been made there until the 16^th century.

Since 1994 Kutná Hora belongs to the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage. During our tour you will visit the St. Barbara´s Cathedral with interesting wall paintings showing the daily life of miners and workers in the royal mint, the Italian Court - former Royal palace, the Royal Mint from the end of the 13^th century, the Ossuary, small chapel with an altar and wall decoration made of human bones.
