An iron cage stands on the square.

Lees het verhaalSluiten

In front of the town hall of Levoča stands an iron cage from the 16th century. People who broke the rules, such as unfaithful wives or women who went out after the curfew, were locked in it and shown to everyone in the square. It is a reminder of how shame was used as a punishment.
