Český Krumlov is a castle converted into a palace on a rocky outcrop above the left bank of the Vltava. With an area of more than six hectares, it is the second largest castle and palace complex in Bohemia (after Prague Castle). It is the most visited tourist destination in South Bohemia. In 1992, the entire historical complex of the castle and the urban surroundings were added to the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. The castle area is one of the largest in Central Europe in terms of area. It includes forty buildings and palace structures with five castle courtyards and the seven-hectare castle garden.

Chapel of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Kaple Povýšení svatého Kříže)

Highlight • Religious Site

This octagonal chapel of the Sorrowful Virgin Mary and the Holy Cross is over 300 years old and stands on the Cross Hill (Křížová hora) in the south of the city. Its roof is crowned by a patriarchal cross (double cross) above the tower lantern. In 1658, the Jesuit preacher Michal Koppe had the so-called Spanish wooden cross with a part of the Holy Cross inserted installed here, which was supposed to protect the city from storms and natural disasters. It was the "weather cross" that was popular at the time and was found in many Central European countries along the Danube. The desire for a larger brick chapel grew among the city's population. It was built with the help of the magistrate, Prince Johann Christian I of Eggenberg and his wife in 1710. The illustrated niche chapels at the stations of the associated Way of the Cross are also worth seeing.

Plague Column and Fountain on Svornosti Square

Highlight • Monument

In 1843, a stone fountain was added to the Plague Column on Svornost Square, which dates back to 1716, to replace the demolished Renaissance fountain in the middle of the square. The Plague Column, with a statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary and eight saints, patron saints of the city and protectors against the plague, is the work of the Prague Baroque sculptor Matěj Václav Jakel, and the costs were covered by Princess Marie Ernestina von Eggenberg. On the pedestals are statues of Saints Wenceslas, Vitus, John the Evangelist and Judas Tadeáš, and in the niches of the lower row are statues of Saints Roch, Francis Xavier, Sebestián and Cajetan.

Unity Square (Náměstí Svorností) is the centre of the old town with the town hall from the 16th century and the Plague Column from 1716. Several buildings are decorated with stucco and paintings. The square layout of the square, the arrangement of the houses on its sides and the exits of the streets correspond essentially to the state from the time of the city's founding in the Middle Ages.
