Extract from the Olomouc Travel Guides:
Occupying the crucial Morava crossing-point on the road to Krakw,
OLOMOUC
(pronounced "Olla-moats") was the capital of Moravia from the Middle Ages to the mid-seventeenth century and the seat of the bishopric for even longer. All this attracted the destructive attention of Swedish troops in the Thirty Years' War, though the wealth of the Church and its strategic trading position kept the place going. And with a well-preserved old town, sloping cobbled squares and a plethora of Baroque fountains, not to mention a healthy quota of university students and a few interesting festivals, Olomouc has a great deal going for it.
