Spiš Castle spreads its long walls and towers across a broad green hill.Bees crawl across the amber comb of a hive frame.An abandoned brick building stands windowless in a field.A castle keep with a gabled roof flies a flag on a wooded ridge.A street of modernist blocks is lit at dusk, a zebra crossing in front.Symmetrical modernist blocks frame the central square at night.A monumental civic building with a slender spire rises behind a tree lined drive.An arched passage is cut through a housing block, leading to a courtyard.Symmetrical blocks enclose the town square, an obelisk spire at its centre.A covered arcade of square columns recedes into the night, a lone figure walking.A relief mural on a gable wall shows a stylised family beneath an abstract tree.A circular plaza with a raised round pavilion and a sunken basin forms the town centre.A block of flats stands behind a wide paved expanse at night, its windows glowing.A lamp lit arcade passes beneath a housing block, shop signs in view.A twin horned floodlight column burns against the night sky.A floodlight with two horn shaped shades glows against a dark sky.A decorated block of flats carries a frieze of swans above a lamplit plaza.The letters of the city market hall, Mestská tržnica, burn above a steel frame at night.A tree lined street with parked cars leads to a corner shop beneath a small canopy.A corner block with a curved cornice and lit ground floor shops glows at a junction.The symmetrical blocks of the central square glow behind a planted island and parked cars.An arched gateway passes beneath a housing block, a thirty limit sign at the corner.A quiet back street of the town slips into darkness under a single lamp.A residential street with parked cars and a tree lined verge stretches under a lamp.
