Telč is a small historic town in the Jihlava District of the Vysočina Region in the Czech Republic, with about 5,100 inhabitants. It lies in a hilly landscape in the Křižanov Highlands and is ringed by a system of fishponds. The town is best known for its historic centre, protected as an urban monument reservation and inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for its Renaissance castle, which is protected as a national cultural monument. Local legend dates the founding of the town to 1099, though the first written mention comes from 1335. Its economy today depends mainly on tourism, drawn by the well preserved arcaded houses around the market square.
