História mesta

Settlements and evidence of the area being populated as far back as the Bronze Age were discovered recently. Slavic tribes settled there later. Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, explored the lands in 1350 and established a spa centre near the site of a spring. The town has been under the influence of many tribes and conquerers during its hundreds-of-years-old history. After World War I, the area was populated by a large German-speaking group and the town was known as Carlsbad. After the war, the area became a part of Czechoslovakia and following the end of World War II, the German population was expelled and the town was renamed to Karlovy Vary. Today the town is a majot spa and recreational centre in central Europe.
