The Jewish Quarter, including the old Jewish cemetery and the St Procopius' Basilica is an important heritage site in the town of Trebíc in the Czech Republic. It is a reminder of the co-existence of Jewish and Christian cultures in the Czech Republic from the Middle Ages right up to the 20th Century. The city of Trebíc is located in Moravia, part of the Vysočina Region.

The famous St Procopius' Basilica dates back to the 12th century, when it began as a Benedictine monastery. The monastery was so well endowed that it led to the establishment of a commercial centre around it, and thus the city of Trebic came into being.

The Jewish Quarter and the St Procopius' Basilica were inscribed as a World Heritage Site during the 27th session of the World Heritage Committee meeting in Paris, France, on 30 June to 5 July, 2003.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
