Poslechněte si podcast: Celts & Czechs: what Palacký wrote about the first known inhabitants of Bohemia
Weekend edition of Czechia in 30 minutes reveals just how much—and how little—was known about the Celts who once lived in Czech lands. In the hills in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, a reconstructed Celtic oppidum stands as a reminder of the ancient Boii tribe who once lived in what is now Czechia. The site reflects a broader fascination in Czech culture with Celtic heritage—an interest that has persisted since the 1990s and continues today.
