TABOR, a fortified town of Bohemia, on a steep hill above the Luschnitz, 48 miles S.S.E. of Prague. It is an old-fashioned town, and has many picturesque castellated houses, one of which has a balcony overlooking the market-place, from which Ziska, the Hussite leader, used to address his followers. There are here a ruined castle, a town-hall, and two fine churches. Cloth and paper are manufactured; and argentiferous lead is obtained in the vicinity. The castle was originally built in 774, destroyed in 1268, but restored in 1420, when the Hussites under Ziska took possession of the town. They strongly fortified the place, and gave it the scriptural name of Tabor, from whence they were sometimes called Taborites. There are in the vicinity a hill which they called Horeb, and a pond which they named the Jordan. Pop. 4485.
