Why Levoca Old Town matters

Levoca's centre is a well-preserved medieval town with walls and a long, narrow square. St James's Church contains a very tall wooden altar carved by a master. The old town hall and cages of shame add to the interest. Allow time for the church, which has limited visiting hours, and wander the walls for a different perspective.
