The Town Hall of Levoca dates back to the 15th century. It burnt down in 1550, and there was another fire in 1599. In 1615 the Town Hall was enlarged and the southern part, as well as the archways on the first and second floors, were added.
In the corner of the southern facade, there is a remain of the original paintings. More paintings were placed between the windows. The paintings represent symbols of civil virtues: moderation, carefulness, bravery, patience and justice.
The building of the Town Hall was attached to a Renaissance tower, which was built between 1656 - 1661 as a belfry. There are many beautiful expositions of the Spis Museum on the first floor of the Town Hall.
On 28th June 2009, Levoča was added by UNESCO to its World Heritage List under the name Levoča, Spišský Hrad and the Associated Cultural Monuments.
It’s fantastic to see the town hall still standing after so many years, and it’s incredible to think about all the history there. It’s a testament to the strength of the people of Levoča and a reminder of the beauty of the Renaissance era. @MartinKv223 Thanks for sharing this article!
