Telč, a picturesque, beautiful little town in the Czech Republic. With its beautiful baroque houses it feautures on the Unesco World Heritage List. It is a little gem, definitely worth visiting.
Telč is situated at the south-west tip of Moravia, half-way between Prague and Vienna. According to legend the foundation of the city is associated with the victory of the Moravian Prince Otto II over the Bohemian King Břetislav in 1099. It was this victory that meant the building of a chapel, later to become a church, and a settlement which forms today’s Staré Město (Old Town). In 1992 Telč was inscribed in the UNESCO List.
