Kampanila
Like the mighty voice of the Holy Hill chapel spreading around the region fills the ears of all within the right distance, the magic scenery of Mikulov together with its history, position, wine and people fills the hearts of all visitors. What campanile is for the noble sound of the bell - surety, protection and testimony of the time – that Mikulov is for us and we all feel it from the bottom of our hearts. Mikulov has been inspiration, home, story teller, great helper on the way from the past to the future. (Martin Mysliveček)
