St. Procopius Basilica in Třebíč

My home town Třebíč. Unique basilica (UNESCO). Jewish old Town, Jewish cemetery.

Built in 1260 Anno Dominik.

Unique place on its own, but there's also a beautiful herb garden outside and a great view of the city. The guided tour of the interior was informative and interesting. It also allows access to most of the spaces inside the building, which give you insight into various eras of the building's existence. If you're interested in history or architecture, I can't recommend it enough. Photos are allowed inside the building.

On my 1st visit to Czechia and friends in the region, I was intrigued by the significant historic value and legends unearthed at this Basilica in the village of Trebic. There are architectural styles from three very distinctive eras in art history that influenced the design of the structures as the actual construction progressed from start to completion. There are some exceptionally preserved frescoes that adorns the walls inside the small chapel that seemingly celebrates cultural ideology more that religious orthodoxy, and the tales surrounding their revelation inspire greater intrigue in the folklore of this UNESCO Heritage site. The crypt in the cavern below retains that somber energy, but finds stark contrasts in the fact that part of a column was removed at one point to allow barrels of beer to be stored because of its cool cellar temp. and this magnificent basillica spent years as a common brewery before the historical value was finally revealed, it's original purpose restored then then ultimately honored as it should, all of this makes it a phenomenal site to behold and revere.

Brilliant guided tour of this stunning basilica.
