An important cultural and historical event for the town was the year 2003 when the St. Procopius´ basilica and the Jewish Quarter with Jewish cemetery were incorporated into the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. These monuments are the proof, that Jewish and Christian communities could live side by side, which was one of the reasons for entry into the prestigious list.

Austerlitz (Mound of Peace). The memorial has been erected at the site of the bloody "battle of three emperors" which took place on the 2nd of December, 1805 near Slavkov, better known in Europe under the German name Austerlitz. Here, the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte defeated the numerically superior Austrian-Prussian army led by the Austrian emperor Franz II. and the Russian czar Alexander I. All combating parties signed a truce at the castle of Slavkov on 6th of December. The Mound of Peace in Praka on the Slavkov battlefield was built according to the project drafted by J. Fanta during 1910 - 1911.
