John Amos Comenius, a Czech cultural figure, believed that the Moravian town of Velke Mezirici was founded in ancient times, so it can be considered one of the oldest Czech settlements.

According to local legend, the site of Velke Mezirici previously was the legendary city of Marburg, which was burned by King Attila the Hun.

Velke Mezirici, which is home to about 11,000 people, is located at the confluence of two rivers - Oslavy and Balinki. Like any self-respecting medieval town in Europe, Velke Mezirici is a beautiful castle, which today is a museum, where exhibits telling about the world of the local fauna, as well as historical objects testifying to the famous past of the city. That Renaissance structure that we see today, was rebuilt from an ancient fortress that has arisen in the XIII century. Yes, the local castle has known a glorious time when it was decorated three massive towers. The castle was built as a defensive fortification, which is perfectly in office until 1578, when its owners decided to rebuild the citadel in an elegant residence in the Renaissance style. Today the castle is privately owned, but the owners do not object to a demonstration tour of the interiors.

Also, any traveler, having appeared in the central square of the city, be sure to look into the church of St. Nicholas, which was built in the middle of the XIII century. It is adorned with a tower height of 64 meters, which is simply impossible not to notice. On the tower are 6 bells and 4 hours in diameter, 2 meters.

The town is also the Jewish quarter, which consists of 4 streets. 63 houses on them are preserved in their original form.
