Church of Saint Martin in the Wall

It got its name - "in the wall" - after it began to adjoin one of the fortress walls built around the Old Town in the 13th century. True, the wall was later demolished, but the name stuck. Initially, the church was built in the Romanesque style, but in the middle of the XIV century it acquired the Gothic style.
