Trebic

About

Trebic has experienced a new lease of life after two of its most historic sites were awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. The Basilica of St. Procopius began as a monastery in the 12th century and helped establish Trebic as a thriving market town. It's since undergone various remodels, with today's impressive structure coming from alterations in the early 1700s. One particular feature that stands out is a rare example of a ten-part rose window. Trebic’s Jewish Quarter is one of the best-preserved and largest Jewish Ghettos in Europe. All the original inhabitants were deported and sent to concentration camps in WW2, with only ten managing to return after the war. While many of the buildings in the area are now owned by non-Jewish residents, the Quarter still contains two synagogues and an ancient Jewish cemetery as an act of memorial.
