Bezruč Park

Bezruč Park (Bezručův park) is a quiet green spot close to the centre of Kroměříž, covering about 150 × 60 metres. In summer, a pavement fountain with jets set into the ground offers a way to cool off, and there is a well-equipped playground for children. Bus stops are right next to the park.

Until 1923, this was the town cemetery. After it closed, the remains were moved to the cemetery on Velehradská Street and the site was turned into a park. A tall 18th-century stone cross still recalls the former cemetery. The park also has a stone statue of St John of Nepomuk from 1763, a valuable late Baroque work.
