Hidden in a gentle green valley east of the Morava, ZLÍN is one of the most fascinating Moravian towns. Despite appearances, it's not just another factory town, it is the factory town – a museum of functionalist architecture and the inspiration of one man, Tomáš Baťa (pronounced "Batya"). Zlín can't hope to appeal to everyone's aesthetic tastes, but it does present an entirely different side of the country from the usual provincial medieval staré město.
