Holašovice is a small village in South Bohemia, located 15 km from the region capital, České Budějovice. Listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Holašovice is the best example of something called "Selské Baroko (village barocco)", which means very strongly decorated and colorful village houses from 19th century. You can see houses similar to houses in Holašovice in many villages and towns in Czech Republic - the uniqueness of Holašovice is in preserved state of the buildings, their number, and the fact that there are no newer buildings on the main square. As such, the main square with these well decorated and maintained buildings looks really magnificent.
