Photographer’s Note

Telc is a charming little town in southern Moravia, but it is a bit difficult to reach because it is off major roads, and signs were somewhat difficult to follow although I had a map of the region handy. Nevertheless after struggling on side roads,I finally reached this place, I already knew from pictures, and stayed a few hours there.
I was perhaps lucky to find an appropriate weather with some puffy clouds, and I tried to combine them with this outstanding Renaissance architecture. Kindly read Tel's history below as taken freom Wikipedia. More pictures will be posted in the future days.
Telc contains a castle and a long urban plaza with well-conserved Renaissance houses; since 1992 all of this has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The builder of the castle was Zachariᚠof Hradec, after whom the plaza was named; his name is also related to that of the city of Jindřichův Hradec.

Telč was founded in the mid-14th century; the Roman-style tower for the Holy Spirit proves that there was already a settlement there. The city walls and the Church of the Ascension of Mary are Gothic in style.

Until 1945 Telč had, as did its neighbor Jihlava a mainly German population which has been expelled since.
