Dominanta mesta – renesancní vež kostela sv. Vavrince je chloubou dacických renesancních staveb. Mohutná, 51 m vysoká, sedmiposchodová vež, je ukázkou severoitalské stavitelské práce. Byla postavena v letech 1586 – 1592 nákladem obce a Oldricha Krajíre z Krajku pod vedením stavitelského mistra Francesca Garofa de Bissone, jehož náhrobní kámen byl nalezen v prístenku veže. Vež zdobí typické sgrafitové kvádrování, kamenná deska s erbem Krajíru a ceským veršovaným nápisem o zakládání a stavbe veže, nápis se jmény clenu mestské rady i kamenný reliéfní znak mesta pochází z roku 1592. Na veži je uchován i nejstarší zvon sv. Vavrince z roku 1483.
