The towering Black Tower can be seen from almost anywhere in the city – and thus the city center with the main square can be located.

The Roman Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception and St. Ignatius (Jesuit Church) was built from 1656 onwards on the initiative of the Jesuit order and with the support of noble patrons in the Baroque style. The first mass was celebrated in 1675, but the construction of the church extended over more than a century. Significant architects and artists such as Carlo Lurago, Giovanni Domenico Orsi, Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer, and Jan Hiebel contributed significantly to the design of the building. The church acquired its present appearance in 1817.

For centuries, it has been tradition for the tower keeper from the top of the Černá věž not only to watch over the city and its surroundings, but also to announce the time to the residents with trumpet calls. To this day, the trumpet signals can be heard every full hour. However, they now come from a tape recording. Until 1962, tower keeper Antonín Kubík, whose family had held the position for generations, performed this duty. Since the last real tower keeper retired, the melody - recorded by Kubík himself - has been played from tape, every full hour between 9 PM and 2 AM, in all four directions.

The late Gothic bell tower with clockwork and observation platform at Náměstí Míru (Peace Square) stands right next to the Renaissance town hall. It is a distinctive landmark of the city. The tower rises 81.6 meters high. The observation platform is at a height of about fifty meters and is accessible via 226 steps. In 1547, the then flourishing royal town commissioned the Italian architect Antonio de Sala to build the tower. He was to build it not only for defense purposes, but also as a testament to the city's wealth. In 1557, the tower was finished. In 1583, a bell was hung. It is so heavy that it can only be swung by two men.

Construction of the Roman Catholic pilgrimage church Mariä Geburt began at the end of the 13th century. Thanks to financial support from Rome, it was extended in the 14th and 15th centuries on the advice of Pope Boniface XI. In 1581, a bell tower, the so-called White Tower, was added, which was destroyed by fire several times and subsequently rebuilt. The church is an important pilgrimage site. Here, above the main altar, hangs a copy of the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, which allegedly began to bleed on July 8, 1685.
