10 Churches & Cathedrals in Moravia That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

The Church of St. Wenceslas in Olomouc has a long and rich history, similar to the Church of St. Vitus in Prague. The Prague Church as a rotunda was founded in the first half of the 10th century, the church in Olomouc is less than 200 years younger. Now both of these churches appear to be magnificent cathedrals.
6. St. Nicholas Church (Kostel svate Mikulase)

A Place where Pope Paul said a mass to over a million people from all over Europe. Pope Paul declared it to be the Religious and Cultural Centre of Europe. A World Heretage Site. A Place where St.Cyrillus and Methodius were invited by a King to bring Christianity to Europe from Contantinople in the 9th Century and built a simple wooden Chapel. Chapel and Cathedral built later was destoyed during the Hussite War during the attempted reformation of the Roman Catholic Church by Jan Hus. The Basilica was built over the Cathedral ruins where many cripts of Bishops and Saints were discovered. It is a Magnificant Place where Pilgrimages on foot come each first Sunday of the month from places like Uherske Hradiste for a celebration Mass. The original Chapel was rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style and a Monastery was added. Since my last visit a wall was built on the extensive grounds with huge statues of about 12 Saints. Visiting inside the Basilica is restricted to times outside of masses. There is a peacefull and Religious feeling when inside the Extensive Complex. During the Communist Era a seven meter high wall was built around the place so as to hide it from the People. In short it is a Magnificant and Historic Place
