Things to do in Moravia, Czech Republic: The Best Monuments & Statues
Moravia (/mɔːˈreɪviə, -ˈrɑː-, moʊ-/ maw-RAY-vee-ə, -RAH-, moh-; Czech: Morava; German: Mähren (help·info); Polish: Morawy; Latin: Moravia) is a historical country in the Czech Republic (forming its eastern part) and one of the historical Czech lands, together with Bohemia and Czech Silesia. The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (from 1348 to 1918), an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire (1004 to 1806), later a crown land of the Austrian Empire (1804 to 1867) and briefly also one of 17 former crown lands of the Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867 to 1918. During the early 20th century, Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1928; it was then merged with Czech Silesia, and eventually dissolved by abolition of the land system in 1949.

Tomas Bata Memorial was designed by Frantisek Lydie Gahura, opened one year after the death of Tomas Bata, is the most valuable monument of the Zlin constructivism and the highlight of the so-called “Bata architecture” phenomenon. At the first glance the idea for the monument is simple: an empty prism placed on a visible spot above the town, on the central axis of the ascending park space, made up of several modules of the Zlin 6.15 x 6.15 m frame and clad only with cathedral glass. Inside, only the ill-fated Junkers F 13 aircraft in which Tomas Bata died in 1932. Gahura reduced the monument to three basic materials of Zlin architecture – concrete, steel and glass that were supposed to, together with the building’s composition, express the unique attributes of Tomas Bata.

Impressive structure in the center of the city's main square. The plague pillar was built as a sign of gratitude to the inhabitants of the city for getting rid of the plague. There are many such pillars throughout Europe, but this is one of the most impressive and beautiful.
9. Ducal Rotunda of the Virgin Mary and St Catherine

Very nice place. I reccommend to visit this place during sunset. There is very nice views to Znojmo. There is "ENOTEKA" close to this place, where you can spend some time with vine degustation.
