"The Town Began In 1142 With The Settlement Of The First Cistercian Monastery In Bohemia... By 1260 German Miners Began To Mine For Silver ... From The 13th To 16th Centuries The City Competed With Prague Economically, Culturally And Politically. (Wiki). "The Early Decades Of The 14th Centurv Saw Kutna Hora Being Transformed From A Chaotic Mining Settlement Into A Proper Town, And By The Middle Of The Centurv The Definitive System Of Defences Was Complete, With Its Four Main Gates, Moat, And Bastions. The Present Street Pattern Was Evolved From The Haphazard Communications Of The Mining Boom And What Must Have Been Largely Wooden Houses Were Replaced By Substantial Stone Houses. Public Buildings Began To Appear, Such As The First Town Hall And A Number Of Churches. Work On The Monumental Church Of St Barbara Began In The 1380s, In The 14th Century It Became A Royal City Endowed With Monuments That Symbolized Its Prosperity. .. The Most Impressive Feature Of Sedlec Cathedral Is Its Blend Of Original Architectural Conceptions From The Late 14th To The Early 16th Centuries. The Relative Lack Of Renaissance Buildings In The Town Graphically Illustrates The Sudden Decline In Its Fortunes In The Early 1540s, When The Silver Mines Became Exhausted" (Ab)
