Muzeum města Brna is housed in Špilberk Castle, which has overlooked Brno from its hilltop since the 13th century. The castle served as a royal residence before becoming one of the most feared Habsburg prisons in Central Europe; today it holds permanent exhibitions on Brno's history alongside temporary shows. The casemates, where political prisoners from across Europe were once held, draw visitors year-round.
