WIRING A BAROQUE CHAPEL FOR MULTIMEDIA We're looking for a city in the Czech Republic. It's not the capital, Prague. We're looking for a city in the eastern part of the country. This city is the historic capital of Moravia. It was a big trading hub in the Middle Ages. There's a story that Julius Caesar founded the original settlement, though it's unlikely he ever set foot there. Still, the city began as a Roman military camp -- with the name Julius' Hill. It's a city full of churches, including a thousand-year-old cathedral. We'll tell you more about another church in the city--a chapel, actually. For a few days recently, it was transformed into one giant musical instrument. But before we get to that, we want the name of this historic city.
