The castle was partly reconstructed in the second half of the 20th century, and extensive archaeological research was carried out on the site.

The old medieval town of the Levoča (Hungarian: Lőcse, German: Leutschau) is still surrounded by most of its 2,5 km long city walls.

A plaque on one of the houses records the printing and publication in the town of the most famous work of Jan Comenius, the Orbis Pictus.

The town consists of the Cathedral of St. Martin, a former monastery, a seminary, and a single street with some 30 houses, all of medieval construction and enclosed by a wall build between 1662 and 1665 with Upper and Lower Gates.

The town situated at the foot of the hill of Spiš Castle contains a number of Renaissance merchants' houses.
