History began to be written here in the 9th century, when the Slavs, together with missionaries from Aquileia and Salzburg, began to build a church on the plan of a Greek cross. In 863, Constantine and his brother Methodius came to this area. A church with an apse was added to the original church, which became a place of instruction for the monks. Later, a large hall was built near the church, which became the archbishop's residence. For his pupils, a wooden log settlement with workshops and residential houses was built. 

The Museum of Moravian Slovakia in Uherské Hradiště occupies an important position in the network of Czech and Moravian museums. The main building in Smetana Gardens in Uherské Hradiště is dedicated to the Moravian Slovakia exposition and ethnographic, archaeological and historical exhibitions. Not only because of its age or the number of collection items, but above all because of its focus and work outputs, it attracts the interest of both the professional and the general public.

You will see an exhibition about Saints Cyril and Methodius and learn interesting information about the beginnings of Christianity in Moravia. The museum building of the Centre of Slavic Archaeology shows mainly the work of the Archaeological Institute of the Moravian Museum, i.e. finds directly from the region and the results of research on Slavic settlement, Great Moravia and the beginnings of Christianity. Interested visitors can see the local archaeological discoveries.
