Master Paul’s Square
Master Paul’s Square preserves the urban scale and architectural rhythm that made Levoča an important Spiš town. The basilica, town hall, museum façades and rows of historic houses can all be read from one generous public space.
Walk a complete circuit and look into connecting lanes rather than stopping only at the central monuments. Early or late in the day offers the calmest appreciation of the façades.
