On a promontory overlooking the valley, the gothic church of St Barbara and the baroque Jesuit College (now the Gallery of the Central Bohemian Region) in Kutná Hora stand proud of their heritage, and rightly so, as they are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. They are fairly easily accessible by train from Prague and make for a great day trip.

(As an aside, I am starting a Czech Gallery series at https://steemit.com/travelfeed/@tmayd/czech-gallery-introduction-and-metronome and will be adding other countries over time. Let me know what you think, and if you have problems with seeing the photographs, as I am struggling with the technical aspects of writing a blog.)
