BONE CHURCH SEDLEC and Kutná hora

Jan Santini-Aichel (1677 - 1723) was unique and significant Czech architect of the Italian origin. He is famous for his unique style called Gothic-baroque. He belongs among the personalities who markedly surpassed the horizon of their time.
The completed church building was re-consecrated in the year 1708. Santini coped with the composition of unusual altitude and depth proportions of the church space by means of the accentuated rhythm of walls and vaults. The baroque conversion shows in the design of the spiral staircases and the elements of the altar area. The extraordinary personal acquaintance with the design and the architecture of the medieval cathedral type that Santini experienced in Sedlec, became a constant inspiration for his further creation and the incorporation of the Gothic and the baroque grew into a predominant phenomenon attending him till the end of his life.

It is the largest city in the South Bohemian Region and is the political and commercial capital of the region. The old town preserves interesting architecture from the gothic, renaissance, baroque and 19th century periods.
Budějovice has long been well known for its beer. The "Budweiser" became, along with Pilsner (named after another Czech city, Pilsen), one of the best-known lagers. Brewing remains a major industry.
The largest brewery, founded in 1895, is Pivovar Budějovický Budvar (Budweiser Budvar Brewery) which has legal rights to market its beer under the "Budweiser" brand name in much of Europe. The same product is also sold elsewhere under the names "Budvar" and "Czechvar" due to legal disagreements with Anheuser-Busch over the Budweiser brand.
