Heritage Conservation
A thousand years of cultivation of the landscape and the development of architecture, town planning, art, technology and industry has filled the Czech lands with an incredible wealth of cultural monuments. They are testimony to the turbulent history and amazing creativeness of the nations for whom the country became home.
