In Spotlight this week, we go to Vyskov, a town of 23,000 inhabitants,
which lies about half an hour's drive from the Moravian capital of Brno.
The first written reference to Vyskov dates back to 1141, where its name
appears on an ecclesiastical document. By the thirteenth century, Vyskov
was listed as part of the property of the Bishop of Olomouc and it was
prosperous enough to be considered one of the bishopric's most important
towns by the fourteenth century.
