City walls in Jevíčko

Jevíčko

Remains of oval-shaped, 1 km long Gothic fortifications that enclosed the centre of the medieval town. The walls were built in the 14th century in place of old palisades. The fortifications were last renovated in the 16th century, when they included four gates oriented in all four directions. As late as 1768 the gates were opened at daybreak and closed one hour after sunset.
