Kutná Hora was once as rich as Prague, thanks to its silver mines.
See the Cathedral of St Barbara, patron of miners, with its tent-like roofs. The Italian Court was the royal mint, where the Prague groschen was struck. At the Czech Museum of Silver you can put on a miner's coat and go down into a medieval mine. In Sedlec, the ossuary is decorated with the bones of some 40,000 people, including a chandelier.
