Guild symbols

Everywhere in the city you can find Gothic bowfronts with tracery decoration, niches with saints and frescoes on house fronts as well as splendid, old entrance gates, in their variety bearing witness to the special architectural features.

At corners of some houses you can discover the so-called “loopholes”, the inclined peepholes which were so popular in the Middle Ages. It was possible to look out along the street without leaning out of the window.

Interesting wrought-iron signs of inns project into the streets and some doors are decorated with iron fittings and bars.
