Distinctive European medieval townscapes
Every country/region in Europe has it's own distinctive medieval townscape. Some have become so clichéd, that if you see them, you can instantly tell their country/region. Here, as an example, my three favorite medieval townscape styles:
English medieval town, Ludlow: image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/haverin...n/photostream/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/haverin...n/photostream/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/haverin...n/photostream/ French medieval town, Dinan: image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslieg...n/photostream/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/catb/56...n/photostream/ image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/2581020...n/photostream/ German medieval town, Rothenburg: image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/clearly_undefined image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/clearly_undefined image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/clearly_undefined Of course there are much more throughout Europe! You mind telling us your favorites? Or maybe you want to show us how your country's medieval townscapes look like. |

Quedlinburg, Germany. It contains the largest collection of medieval houses in Germany:

Sandomierz, south east Poland. Population - just over 25,000. Not damaged in WW2. Historically significant town in Poland.
image hosted on flickr  Sandomierz - rynek by Hodowca, on Flickrimage hosted on flickr  Sandomierz by Jacek Ksiazek, on Flickrimage hosted on flickr  Sandomierz - dom Jana Długosza by Hodowca, on Flickrimage hosted on flickr  Sandomierz by Jacek Ksiazek, on Flickrimage hosted on flickr  Sandomierz - zamek by Hodowca, on Flickr    Underground tourist route. Pretty cool. Warsaw is digging under it's Old Town as well and prepping it's medieval basements for tourists.

The best preserved medieval town in Slovakia is probably Bardejov in NE Slovakia with many gothic houses and renaissance town hall. The city is also in UNESCO heritage list
   pictures are from city website and tripadvisor |

I think many cities in Poland can learn from Torun when they're going to reconstruct their historic Innercities, such other Hanse-cities like Kolobrzeg, Sczcecin, Elblag and many more. The only one which I don't like is the way they rebuild the Altstadt in Elblag, that's just an mix of mostly modern and some old, allthough they got some really nice reconstructions
 But the most houses seems to much 'mixed'..........
