Kutná Hora is located approximately 60 kilometres east of Prague. Because of its exceptional beauty, the town is referred to as a treasury and the jewel of the country. In the Middle Ages it owed its wealth to silver mining. It is small wonder then that the dominant feature of Kutná Hora is a late Gothic church consecrated to St Barbara, the patron saint of miners and that its other historical monuments include the Italian Court, once the central mint of the Kingdom of Bohemia and a royal residence. Today it houses a display charting the history of minting in Kutná Hora, while the history of silver mining and fiscal matters can be explored in another remarkable building - the Hrádek.

The centre of Kutná Hora is imbued with the atmosphere of a medieval town. Its architectural treasures include a Gothic fountain, the archbishop's Church of St James and the Baroque Ursuline convent. The town district of Sedlec also offers noteworthy monuments, specifically a huge complex of a Cistercian monastery with a monumental Gothic church consecrated to the Assumption. Just off the complex you will find the small Church of All Saints with its famous ossuary. Its splendid interior decoration was created exclusively from human bones dating from the period of the Thirty Years' War.

Every year Kutná Hora recalls its glorious history by staging a number of folk celebrations. At the end of June there is a celebration called Showering Kutná Hora with Royal Silver, which re-enacts the arrival of the king in the town. At the end of September there is a regular event called the St Wenceslas Festivities featuring folk customs and games.
The historic centre of Kutná Hora, together with the Church of St Barbara and the Church of the Assumption, has been included in the UNESCO List of World Cultural Heritage since the year 1995.
