What you'll see
A maze of crooked lanes inside the river bend, with painted Renaissance houses, a sloping main square with a plague column, and little alleys that end at the water.
A brief history
The town grew under the castle from the 13th century and barely changed after the 18th; it was neglected under communism, which kept it from being modernised, and restored after 1989.
