Czech lands
The Czech lands refer to the historical region in Central Europe comprising the territories of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia. These areas have a rich cultural and political history, often united under various monarchies and states, most notably the Czech Kingdom within the Holy Roman Empire and later Czechoslovakia. Today, they form the core of the Czech Republic, known for their medieval towns, castles, and significant contributions to art, science, and politics. The Czech lands are recognized for their distinct cultural identity, resilient history, and influence within the broader Central European region.
