Telč

Telč is a small town in the Moravian Highlands whose main square — an elongated rectangle flanked by Renaissance and baroque arcaded houses built after a 1530 fire — is one of the most homogeneous historic ensembles in Central Europe. Each house has a distinct facade with a different gable shape, colour, and decorative scheme, creating a varied composition that rewards close photographic attention. The town is entirely surrounded by a system of interconnected fishponds that historically formed its defensive moat.
