Italian Court

This building dates back to the 13th century when silver was discovered in Kutna Hora. It served as a Royal Mint and was so  named because of the Italian craftsmen who worked here.

Exploring the Italian Court is only possible by joining a guided tour. As we were only there by 4.40 pm it was closed. The van came on time at 4.45 pm to take us to the train station to catch the 5.00 pm train back to Prague.
