	Prague : Side Trips : Kutná Hora \| Frommers.com
		A medieval town that grew fantastically rich from the silver deposits beneath it, Kutná Hora is also a popular day trip from Prague.
		Small enough to be seen in a single day at a brisk pace, the town's ancient heart has decayed, which makes it hard to believe that this was once the second-most important city in Bohemia.
		From April to September, the Bone Church is open daily from 8am to 6pm; October 9am to noon and 1 to 5pm; November to March 9am to noon and 1 to 4pm.

	Kutna Hora
		The town of Kutna Hora owes its origin to the silver mines, the existence of which can be traced back to the first part of the 13th century.
		It was here that, on January 18, 1419, Wenceslaus IV signed the famous decree of Kutna Hora, by which the Czech nation was given three votes in the elections to the faculty of Prague University as against one for the three other "nations".
		In 1420 the emperor Sigismund made the city the base for his unsuccessful attack on the Taborites; Kutna Hora was taken by Jan Zizka, and after a temporary reconciliation of the warring parties was burned by the imperial troops in 1422, to prevent its falling again into the hands of the Taborites.

		Kutna Hora, once the most important town in the Czech kingdom after Prague has preserved its charming medieval character.
		For a longtime Kutna Hora was a privileged royal town, due to the silver mines.

	Prague Compass Magazine - Kutna Hora, Czech Republic - a day trip from Prague
		Today Kutna Hora is a quiet, provincial town, home to 21,000 people, but almost a thousand years ago, it was one of the best-known cities in Europe, and one of the wealthiest as well.
		The advantage of arriving in Kutna Hora by train is that it positions one in close proximity to the Sedlec ossuary, which is just around the corner from the second bus stop when leaving from the train station, "Tabak," (or an easy walk from the station itself).
		Barbora's Cathedral is the most noticeable feature of the Kutna Hora landscape and a scenic stroll away from the Italian Court past the Hradek chapel, and it is worth taking the time to walk around both the perimeter and to visit the interior.

		Dans le cadre du Programme de régénération des villes classées monuments historiques, Kutna Hora a réussi à conserver son noyau historique où se marient parfaitement le gothique et le baroque.
		Parmi d'autres monuments historiques de Kutna Hora, il y a l'église Saint-Jacques, le couvent des ursulines conçu par un autre architecte baroque célèbre, Kilian Ignac Dientzenhofer, mais surtout l'ossuaire de Sedlec, situé dans un quartier périphérique de la ville, qui, lui aussi, figure sur la liste du patrimoine de l'UNESCO.
