The city takes pride in having Gothic Chateau and the most picturesque town square of our country – Zacharias of Hradec Square. The Square alone consists of 71 houses that rose in the Gothic plots, mostly before the 1530. An arcade, which was built around the perimeter of the square around the mid 16th century, creates the typical character of the square. Qualified Italian artists helped transform the Gothic dwellings into neat looking houses. The Trebic Jewish monuments, together with the ones found in Jerusalem, are the only ones that have been separately listed on the UNESCO list. This exceptional architectural complex is extremely well preserved. The only comparable ghetto in Europe can perhaps be found only in Venice. Trebic once belonged to the important centers of Jewish culture in Moravia and uniquely preserved Jewish quarter is a mute testament to co-existence of Jews and Christians.
