Construction of the town fortifications began in the 13th century; by the end of the 14th century, the town fortification system had three gates: Michalská, Laurinská and Vydrická. In the 15thcentury, the Rybárska Gate was added. Gradually, suburban areas grew up in front of the fortification walls which, in the 15th century, were fortified with a system of high embankments and dykes by order of the emperor Sigmund, as a result of the Husite invasion. The town‘s outer line of defences was breached by Kozia Gate, the gate at Suché mýto, and Schöndorfská, Špitálska and Dunajská gates.
