Something, something, medieval cities being build around churches? No clue, just guessing
These are cities where mainly the german citizens and hungarian nobiles bulit these old city centers. Long ways with houses, in the center the church/cathedral, thats quiet common shape even in villages with originally german inhabitants.
Church used to be center of social life, so it makes sense that towns were built around them. So everyone can see the clock on tower and hear the bells.
it’s because all the buildings have red roofs, duh
I’d say Google about town squares from medieval era in general.
All of the cities you listed here have been important in medieval times, usually market towns, or on crossroads of going from x to y. And as times went, city was built around the town centre.
You can find similar urban style in historic cities across whole Europe, especially Italy.
Every region in the world has at least one distinct city/town/village layout. They are based on the environmental and cultural conditions during the foundation of those settlements. 🤷♂️
Because it’s the best layout
That’s just how cities in medieval era were built. You have a townsquare with church and town hall where they organized weekly markets, where burgers could trade with villagers. The markets were so important, that many cities are named after the day of the market. As for the shape, there were just few stone houses from both sides and they were building them in a row without planning so the crooked shape eventually enclosed the square. Cities like Bratislava or Trnava have their town squares roughly square shaped.
People are sarcastic here, but I find this to be an interesting question. For example this layout is very rare in Czechia.
Litomyšl and Telč are sort of similar, but without the central church.
To get best church buffs.
