Why Go

The Old Town Hall, a cluster of medieval houses joined together, holds the city museum, and its tower has a view of the square. The Roland Fountain of 1572 was the city's water supply.

Nearby, bronze statues pop up from the street: Čumil, a workman peering out of a manhole, and Schöne Náci, a gentleman tipping his top hat.
