Brno is a city in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic located at the confluence of the Svitava and Svratka rivers, between the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands and the Dyje–Svratka Valley in the southeastern part of the Czech Republic. Brno served as the capital of Moravia from the Middle Ages until 1948, and remains the political and cultural hub of the South Moravian Region.

Brno’s traditional symbols are two medieval landmarks which dominate the cityscape: the historic Špilberk Castle and its fortifications, and the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul on Petrov Hill. The city is at the crossroads of ancient trade routes, which have linked northern and southern Europe since time immemorial. Brno is historically closely connected with Vienna.
