Must-see attractions

St Michael's Church

　　This beautiful church on Žerotínovo náměstí dates from the 13th century, and was given the current baroque makeover from 1676 to 1703. The church is topped by an ageing green dome and a robust baroque interior with a rare painting of a pregnant Virgin Mary. Wrapped around the entire block...
