Tabor Attractions

Located south of Prague and north of Ceske Budejovice, the town of Tabor was established to be the center of the Hussite movement in the early part of the 15th Century following the death of Jan Hus. It was named after Mount Tabor in Palestine. The name Tabor became synonymous with this group, which eventually became known as Taborites. The history of the Hussite movement is explained at the Hussite Museum (Husiteske Muzeum) in Tabor, which is well worth a visit.

The town has a beautiful main square (Zizkovo námestí) where visitors will find most of Tabor's attractions. Also of interest are the remains of a medieval Kotnov Castle (Hrad Kotnov) with a round tower. There is a small historical display inside the castle.
