Review:
Brno is a city of contradictions, ancient and rich with history on one hand and modern and innovative on the other. Home to famous Czech composer Leos Janacek and botanist Gregor Mendel, this lively city boasts galleries, museums, universities, cafés, and festivals. Points of interest include Spilberk Castle, a 13th-century castle turned 17th-century fortress, known to be a notorious prison. Villa Tugendhat, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site; the Underground Labyrinth Under Cabbage Market, a system of interconnected cellars beneath the Cabbage Market; and the Ossuary of St. James' Church, a charnel house for unearthed remains, are among many other cultural attractions.
