Uherské Hradiště is the cultural heart of Moravian Slovakia, situated on the left bank of the Morava river. The town was founded in 1257 by King Ottokar II of Bohemia as a fortress to protect the border against Hungary. Its historical center is a protected urban monument zone, featuring valuable buildings such as the Jesuit Church of St. Francis Xavier and the Old Town Hall. The region is world-famous for its lively folklore, traditional costumes, and the wine festival held every September. Nearby lies the Staré Město archaeological site, which was one of the primary centers of the Great Moravian Empire in the 9th century. Uherské Hradiště also serves as a seat for the district court and is home to the prestigious Moravian-Slovak Theatre. The blend of historical architecture, academic tradition, and deeply rooted folk customs makes the town one of Moravia's most attractive destinations.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
