The town of Uherské Hradiště lies in the east of the Czech Republic, in Moravia, around 70 km to the east of Brno. A number of remarkable archaeological sites have been discovered on its soil in the past. The most significant of these are found in the southeast of the town in the district known as Sady, also known as Derfle by the local population. The subject of this book is an important site from the Early Middle Ages situated in the locality known today as the “Saint Methodius Height”. Other names are, however, also still used for this place, such as the “Sady Promontory”, the “Sady Height“, the “Metropolitan Height“ and the rather puzzling “Sady by Uherské Hradiště”. All these names represent one and the same locality with remnants of an important sacral site whose beginnings date back to the end of the eighth century or the beginning of the ninth century and whose end is placed at the beginning of the thirteenth century. The Uherské Hradiště-Sady site is situated on the plateau of an elevated promontory at an altitude of 204 to 207 metres above sea level that comprises part of the Luhačovice Hills. The promontory protrudes sharply into the floodplain of the River Morava lying around 30 to 40 metres below. In the Early and High Middle Ages the promontory was surrounded on three sides by the River Olšava, which in the year 1078 was described as “ferocious”.
