Kutná Hora is a city situated in the Central Bohemian Region of Bohemia, which is now part of the Czech Republic.
Kutná Hora and the neighboring town of Sedlec are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Among the most important buildings in the area are the Gothic, five-naved St. Barbara's Church, begun in 1388, and the Italian Court, formerly a royal residence and mint, which was built at the end of the 13th century. The Gothic Stone Haus, which since 1902 has served as a museum, contains one of the richest archives in the country. The Gothic St. James's Church, with its 86 metre tower, is another prominent building. Sedlec is the site of the Gothic Cathedral of Our Lady and the famous Ossuary.
The main buildings of Kutna Hora are shown on the card which Alex sent me. This card is shaped like the actual map of the Czech Republic.
