Uherské Hradiště "Výšina sv. Metoděje" - archeologická lokalita
About This Museum
Believe it or not, the hill you're standing on was once a fortified stronghold of the Great Moravian Empire, a powerhouse of 9th-century Europe. Today, it's an open-air archaeological site where history feels almost tangible. Walking the grounds, you follow in the footsteps of saints and Slavic princes. It’s less a traditional museum and more a journey back to the very roots of Czech and Slovak statehood.
Collection Highlights
The real treasures are in the terrain itself—the clear outlines of a monumental basilica's foundations and the remnants of a sprawling acropolis. Finds from excavations, like delicate gilded jewelry and weapons, are displayed in town, but here, your imagination connects the dots.
Visitor Information
Wear good shoes; this is an outdoor site best explored on foot. The views over the Morava River from the top are spectacular and really help you understand why this spot was chosen for such an important settlement.
Architecture & Building
There's no grand building here—the architecture is the landscape. You'll see evocative ground plans marked out where massive stone-and-wood structures once stood, all integrated into the grassy hilltop.
