About Olomouc
2nd Most Historical City in the Czech Republic
The ancient town of Olomouc lies in the heart of the so-called Haná region in Moravia. Its history dates back to the 10th century AD when it became an important trade crossing-point. It has the second most significant collection of historical monuments in the country after Prague. The second oldest university in the Czech lands was founded in Olomouc in the year 1573.
Olomouc was considered the capital of Moravia from the Luxemburgian period up until the 17th century. During the Thirty Years War with the town's occupation by the Swedish army, the town was destroyed to a large extent and lost its leading position.
Today, the city has a population of over 100,000 inhabitants. It is the fifth largest city in the Czech Republic and the seat of the Olomouc Region. At present, the city is experiencing major development in the areas of culture, accommodation, food, dining and tourism. It has a great deal to offer both socially and culturally, with visits to the Moravian Theatre, concerts of the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, exhibitions at the Museum of Natural Science and the Museum of Art along with a whole range of art galleries.
