Immediately after entering the town and the view of its large square assures us of the fact that we are in a town that was of a great European significance in medieval ages.

St. James Church and town hall

It is situated in the middle of the square and it’s got the highest gothic altar in the world, which is the work of Master Paul of Levoca. The town hall once used to be the administrative and judiciary centre. In front of it there is a medieval pillory for women – the cage of shame.
