Bardejov, Slovakia

 

Bardejov is a small but exceptionally complete and well-preserved example of a fortified medieval town, which typifies the urbanisation in this region. Among other remarkable features, it also contains a small Jewish quarter around a fine 18th-century synagogue. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2000.
