Trebíc is situated in the Vysocina region and it is the 2nd biggest town of the region. Trebíc is located in the southwestern part of the Bohemia-Moravian highlands spreading out on the both sides of the Jihlava river. At the present time, the population is almost 38 000 inhabitants.
The beginnings of the town are connected with a remarkable Benedictine monastery which was founded by Moravian princes in 1101. In 1270 the town of Trebíc was founded by abbot Martin. The milestone for Trebíc was the year 1468 when the town was almost destroyed during the war between Matthias Corvinus and George of Podebrady. In 1525 the monastery became the seat of secular lords of Pernštejn, Osovský and Valdštejn. For many centuries, Trebíc was an important economic, administrative, political and cultural centre of southwest Moravia.
St. Procopius´ basilica and the Jewish Quarter with Jewish cemetery are incorporated into the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. These monuments are the proof, that Jewish and Christian communities could live side by side, which was one of the reasons for entry into the prestigious list.
