📍 Destination Overview
Kutná Hora, some seventy kilometers east of Prague, prospered on medieval silver and was once second only to Prague in Bohemia; its center is a UNESCO site. It is best known for the eerie Sedlec Ossuary, where some 40,000 human bones fashion chandeliers and crowns. St Barbara's Church is a soaring Gothic work and miners' shrine, while the silver museum descends into old mine galleries.
