Špilberk Castle
Špilberk Castle, a massive 13th-century fortress perched high on a hill overlooking Brno, has a rich and dark history, transforming over the centuries from a grand royal residence into one of the most feared and notorious prisons in the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today, visitors can explore the chilling, subterranean casemates where political prisoners were once held, or stroll along the castle’s fortified walls to enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the city.
