Apart from the church, the town hall and the former chateau, the town centre of Trutnov is made up of some 150 citizens’ houses arranged in blocks. Its network of streets has been preserved until the present in a slightly changed form together with the rectangular-shaped square. Parallel streets, connecting in front of the former town gates, run from the corners of the square. Another important street runs along the former town hall in the middle of the northern front of the square. The city walls of Trutnov were closed by three gates – the Upper (called Prague Gate), the Middle (Mountain Gate), and the Lower (Silesian) Gate. In 1990, this architectural whole was declared an urban conservation area.
