Royal privileges granted in 1213 make Uničov a contender for the title of oldest chartered town in Moravia, a claim it shares with Bruntál and a few other settlements founded during the same wave of German colonization. The rectangular market square, large for a town of this size, preserves the proportions laid out eight centuries ago, and a few Renaissance burgher houses survive along its edges.
About 12,400 residents live in Uničov, which sits on the Oskava river in the Olomouc Region. The town's position on flat agricultural land between Olomouc and the Jeseníky foothills makes it a market centre for the surrounding farming district.
