From the Castle to the Town – Archaeology and History of the Origins of Brno – Lecture in the Cellar

Until recently there was a lot of confusion about the origin of the city of Brno. Was Brno Castle at the beginning? Where was its location? How did the city develop and where was the first human settlement located? We are closer to answering these questions today, thanks to extensive archaeological research.

Come with us to a time roughly a thousand years ago, to the beginnings of the city of Brno. The lecture will focus on where the first buildings were built, how human settlements expanded and how today's city centre was formed. You will learn about the building development of Brno and the everyday life of the inhabitants of the medieval city.

Lecturer : doc. PhDr. Rudolf Procházka, CSc.

The lecture is held in cooperation with the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
