Religious Tours

...Religious crossroad in the heart of Europe...

Nowadays arguably the most atheist country in Europe, the Czech Republic used to be an important religious centre in the past. Apart from Catholic and Protestant Christian monuments and sights, there are also many places connected with Jewish culture and religion.
Our religious history is full of dramatic turnovers concluded by forty years of the communist era that presented a massive blow to the sacred monuments.
As a result of the ignorance of the regime, many sites have fallen into disrepair, others were changed to military or farm storehouses.
Today, many sights have been restored to their original splendour and the tradition of Marian pilgrimages has also been revived.

The most significant and famous monuments have been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites (Kutná Hora, the Pilgrimage Church of St John of Nepomuk at Zelená Hora, the Holy Trinity Column in Olomouc, the Jewish Quarter and the St Procopius' Basilica in Třebíč...).
Other important pilgrimage sites (Svatá hora u Příbrami, Svatý Kopeček u O lomouce) are listed as national monuments.
The countryside is covered by thousands of gorgeous baroque churches and other smaller religious objects. There are also many long lost Jewish cemeteries.
And finally, the city of Prague is known as the “city of a hundred steeples” originating in all periods of history.
