UNESCOMŮŽEŠ [unesco you like] - Slavic Settlement at Mikulčice and Church of St. Margita
The Great Moravian fortified settlement near Mikulčice is the best preserved item of archaeological evidence documenting the existence of the West-Slavonic state. The Mikulčice fortified site lies near the town of Hodonín, southeast of the village of Mikulčice, along the present-day border between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The older Mikulčice settlement was radically rebuilt in the 9th century as a part of the Great Moravian residential agglomeration. The fortified core of the agglomeration covered an area of about 10 hectares and consisted of an acropolis and a preurbium. Over the course of the 9th century, stone churches were founded inside the acropolis on its elevated northern end, and large burial grounds were established around the churches. An extensive range of systematic archaeological research was conducted between 1954 and 1990 and is currently being elaborated with partial surveys that provide updated information about this rare locality.
About: There are currently twelve unique Unesco World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic that you can visit. However, there are many more fascinating sites in this beautiful country. In the Unescomůžeš (Unesco You Like) project we bring you a number of short documentary videos about the sites which are listed in the Czech Republic's Unesco World Heritage Tentative List. One day, these sites may become part of the World Heritage. Until that time you can enjoy their unique beauty in our videos and maybe it might even inspire you to choose the Czech Republic for the destination of your next trip. All of the films were shot by Czech photographer Ondrej Tylcer and each movie is accompanied by soundtrack music which was inspired by the site's mood, produced by the renowned Czech musician Robert Forman.
The project is supported by the Ministry of Culture Czech Republic.
