nám. Přemysla Otakara II., České Budějovice, 370 01

This year’s International Day for Monuments and Sites in České Budějovice focuses on the stories of individual buildings that
together shape the city’s image from its founding in the 13th century to the present. Townhouses with Gothic cores,
Renaissance and Baroque modifications, monasteries and churches, courtyards, passageways, and technical structures—all of these “buildings”
tell the story of how people lived, worked, traded, and worshiped in the city.
The houses of České Budějovice are not merely architectural structures. They bear witness to urban development, the evolution of architectural
styles, and changes in lifestyle and social relations. Their courtyards and small courtyards conceal the everyday life of past
centuries, while the facades facing the streets reflect the prestige, ambitions, and tastes of their owners.
The day’s program will feature a special opening of historic houses and monuments that are normally off-limits to the public, guided
tours with experts, lectures for the general public, and an accompanying program. Visitors will have the opportunity to
look behind the facades, discover hidden spaces, and get to know the houses as living organisms that, over the centuries,
have transformed along with the city and its inhabitants.
Once upon a time, there was a house… And it was—and still is—part of our city, our history, and our own ideas about
what home means.
