'''Kutná Hora''' is a town in the centre of the [[Czech Republic]] and has a population of 20,341 (2016).
== Historical Town Centre ==
Kutná Hora developed as a result of the exploitation of the silver mines. In the 14th century it became a royal city endowed with monuments that symbolized its prosperity. The Church of [[St Barbara Church (Kutná Hora)|St Barbara]], a jewel of the late Gothic period, and the [[Cathedral of Our Lady]] at [[Sedlec]], which was restored in line with the Baroque taste of the early 18th century, were to influence the architecture of [[central Europe]]. These masterpieces today form part of a well-preserved medieval urban fabric with some particularly fine private dwellings.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/732</ref>
