Hradné námestie (the Castle Square street) is separated from Hlavné námestie (the Main Square street) with distance arches. Houses were originally built in the Gothic-Renaissance style. Those at the beginning of the Castle Square have the roofs typical for the Spiš Region. Most of the houses were rebuilt in the 19th and 20th century.

The Main Square witnessed all the important events, which took place in the town. In the 15th century, the Hungarian king Sigmund and Polish king Vladislav visited the town, in the 19th century the Saxon king Friedrich August II., in the 20th century the Siamese Prince, the President of the Czechoslovak Republik T. G. Masaryk, and all the presidents of the Slovak Republic.
