Kutná Hora Sights

Kutná Hora was a fun city to walk around in.  It had lots of little, narrow, windy streets and high walls.

The Italian Court, Kutná Hora

                         Italian Court.                                                    Wenceslas

A monument to Karel Havlickek
Borovsky with a memorial
to Vaclav Havel.

This monument has a storied history.  Since Borovsky is a nationalist hero,
every time the Soviets or other anti-nationalists were in power, they destroyed the statue and as soon as they were gone, the Czechs put it back.
The inscription on the back of the monument reads:
"Built by the Committee for the Erection
of a monument on behalf of a grateful Kutna Hora.
Revealed, 27 October 1938
Destroyed, 1942
Restored and revealed,  27 October 1948
Destroyed, 1959
Restored and revealed,  27 October 1991 

This is a memorial to 

"Victims of communist terror, violence, and despotism between 1948-1989 and participants in the anti-communist resistance in Kutná Hora."

If you want to see more pictures of Kutná Hora, you can go to the official city site here, which has interesting historical information and lots of good pictures in it.

Even though the city is a little more run down than Prague, there were still a lot of the same kind of architectural sights around.

 

 

 

It was a really fun walk through town with lots of fun things to check out.  When I was walking by, the little kiddie car was playing the theme from "The Addams Family" for some reason known only to its makers.
