<\/p> South Moravia: Romanesque Basilica and Historic Jewish Quarter & Historic Town and Its Renaissance Chateau<\/em><\/p> T\u0159eb\u00ed\u010d<\/span> <\/strong>is a small sleepy town and so it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that it annually hosts a competition in slow pipe smoking! It is also the location of the only Jewish heritage site included in the UNESCO listing outside of Israel, theintact Jewish Quarter with maintained synagogues and a cemetery, entirely exempt from the war horrors of the 20th century. Another site, also listed by UNESCO, is the Romanesque Basilica of St.Procopius of S\u00e1zava built in the 13th century within the local Benedictine monastery. It draws particular interest with its harmonious blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles and a beautiful crypt, vaulted over columns with Romanesque capitals.<\/p> The town of Tel\u010d<\/span><\/strong> is located in Moravia, although Bohemia is just around the corner. It is renowned for its picturesque square, composed of houses with arcades and Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque facades. As you walk around, you get a sense that you must be in the midst of a fairy-tale film set. The square and its adjoining Renaissance chateau were enclosed by ramparts surrounded by ponds that provided a double protection for the town. This natural framework makes Tel\u010d even more attractive to tourists. Thanks to its picturesque beauty, Tel\u010d has also been included among UNESCO world heritage sites.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\nT\u0159eb\u00ed\u010d (UNESCO SITE) & Tel\u010d (UNESCO SITE) with Private Guide - D8<\/h1>\n<\/div>
