Uherské Hradiště ( Czech pronunciation: [ˈuɦɛrskɛː ˈɦraɟɪʃcɛ]; German: Ungarisch Hradisch) is a town in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 25,000 inhabitants. The agglomeration with the two neighbouring towns of Staré Město and Kunovice has over 37,000 inhabitants. Uherské Hradiště is located on the left bank of the Morava River.
Uherské Hradiště is the centre of the cultural region of Moravian Slovakia. The town was founded in 1257. The history of the town and some of its most important monuments are connected with the Jesuits, who acted here between 1644 and 1773.
