Radnica
Slovakia
The town hall stands alone in the middle of Radničné námestie, the market square of Bardejov, and that position is the first thing to notice. It was built to answer the parish Church of St Egidius across the square: the church for the soul, this building for the council, the trade and the social life of the town. Walk around it and you will find a compact two-storey block on a regular rectangle, its long sides running north to south, with tall gables at each end of a steep tiled saddle roof. It is often described as the first secular Renaissance building in Slovakia, although late-Gothic elements are still plainly there; what you are looking at is the moment one style starts pushing into another.
