Description
Kroměříž is a historic city in Moravia, renowned for its exceptionally well-preserved ensemble of the Archbishop’s Palace and historic gardens. The Baroque palace served for centuries as the seat of the bishops and archbishops of Olomouc and features lavishly decorated halls and an important collection of European art. The geometrically designed Flower Garden, with its 244-meter colonnade, is one of Europe’s outstanding examples of early Baroque garden design. The expansive Palace Garden complements it as a picturesque landscape park. Together, the palace and gardens form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making Kroměříž a remarkable testament to European architecture, art, and garden design.
