Gem on the Hill: The Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk in Žďár

Built on a small hill called Zelená hora near Žďár nad Sázavou, it is one of the most spectacular and yet unassuming sights in the Czech Republic. The architectural significance of the church on the border of the historic lands of Bohemia and Moravia was officially recognized by UNESCO in 1994 when it became the third site in the country to be included in the World Heritage List, preceded only by Prague and the city of Telč.
