 Welcome to the city of JIHLAVA
The ground plan of the new town, designed as a network of right-angle perpendicular streets with a large town square in the middle, was the result of mandatory directives for town planning which came into force in 1270, during the reign of King Přemysl Otakar II.
Jihlava's new architectural style was characteristic for houses with indoor courtyards and large ground-floor passages (maas-houses) opening into Renaissance-style courtyards with upper-floor galleries supported by Tuscan pillars, tracery-vault arcades, and frequently decorated with frescos.
By then, Jihlava had begun to take on a new face, again: outgrowing the constriction of its own walls, it started to expand beyond them; street lights were installed around the town square; and the Municipal Hall was rebuilt.
