Brno-město (cadastral Territory)
Brno-město (lit. 'Brno-City') is a cadastral territory of the city district of Brno-střed, forming the central part and historical core of the city of Brno, Czech Republic. Until 1850, the city of Brno was made up of this very territory, although it was smaller and with slightly different boundaries. The current area of 1.19 km² was acquired by Brno-město in the late 1960s and since November 24, 1990 it has been part of Brno-střed. About 5,300 people live here. History The oldest settlement in the district is known from the Late Stone Age in the area of Petrov. Petrov is also one of the hypothetical locations of the early medieval Brno castle, and archaeological evidence of the oldest one-nave church in Petrov with a crypt comes from the 12th century. The existence of the Přemyslid administrative castle in the 11th and 12th centuries in Petrov is not probable in the light of archaeological research. However, the Petrov Church from the 12th century was preceded by an even ol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
