Representative Architecture of the 9th Century Great Moravian Centres
Original language description
The three most important centres of the Great Moravian Empire, namely the settlement agglomerations of Mikulčice-Kopčany, Staré Město – Uherské Hradiště and Pohansko near Břeclav, were located in the middle Morava River floodplain. The “architecture of power” is archaeologically documented in all the three of the above-mentioned central agglomerations. In two cases, large masonry buildings – princely or royal halls (“palaces”) – were found in Mikulčice and in Staré Město, and in two other cases large wooden hall buildings in the church complex Uherské Hradiště – Sady and in the so-called “magnate court” in Pohansko near Břeclav. Construction technologies, especially those using lime, played an important role in the construction of these buildings. The result was buildings made of stone or wood built on lime mortar. The representative architecture of Mojmirid Moravia can most probably be considered a continuation of the Roman tradition of power architecture as a manifestation of imitatio imperii.
