Spalicek

A tight cluster of eleven Gothic merchant houses splitting Cheb's main square.

Spalicek is the strange little block of houses in the middle of Cheb's main square. Eleven originally Gothic buildings stand packed together, giving the square a shape you do not see in most Czech towns.

It is less a museum piece than a visual anchor. Walk around it slowly, then look back from the square edges to see how it breaks the open space into lanes and corners.
