Czech Republic

The core of the Cyrillo-Methodian legacy lies in Moravia, where the first Slavic school was established in the 9th century. Sites like Mikulčice and Staré Město were centers of administration and learning, while Velehrad became a symbol of this tradition’s continuity. The brothers introduced Old Church Slavonic as a liturgical language and laid the foundations of Slavic law. Their mission’s legacy influenced Czech culture and statehood for many centuries.
