A view westwards to the Church of the Virgin Mary. Everyone who finds their way here is fascinated by the decorated relief facades of the predominantly Baroque houses on the ascending terrain, together with various little shops, pubs and cafés. On the right, for instance, one can see V. Malík’s shop selling coffee, tea, maggi spice and, judging by the displayed barrels, probably also pickled herrings, sauerkraut, etc. Beside this shop is a tobacconist’s with a mail-box. All this is situated in the Šoltys House, No. 206. Behind it one can see the narrow house U Cerveného orla (The Red Eagle) with the rich sculpture of the Baroque front, followed by the Stadler House, also known as U Trí králu (The Three Kings), originally mediaeval, rebuilt the Neo-Classical style in the 1840s. In the next, the Švábovský House of the palace type of the high Baroque period, lived E. Sadeler (about 1570-1629), a well-known painter, graphic artist, and copper-engraver.
