Zlín

Zlín is a city in eastern Moravia in the Czech Republic. From the 1890s it grew from a small town into an industrial centre as the home of the Bata shoe company, which rebuilt it in a modernist style with brick factories and workers' housing. Under communism it was named Gottwaldov from 1949 to 1989.
