Introducing Levoča
Medieval walls stand stolid and defensive, protecting the age-old centre from onslaught. Levoča is one of the few Slovak cities to have its ancient old town defences largely intact. The pride of Slovakia’s religious art collection, an 18m-high altar carved by renowned artist Master Pavol of Levoča, resides within the centre square’s Church of St James. Surrounding the church is a panoply of ancient houses with mostly Renaissance façades.
