Summary/Abstract: The houses on the Dominikanske Square 11 and Alzbetina Street 17 are situated in the northwest quarter of the medieval city. An important finding was reached during the research of the houses, what is the definition of the medieval ground alignment. The house at the Dominikanske square 11 had practically today's niveau and the plain of the square leaned towards the Dominican church. At Alzbetina Street 17, there is the 15th century entrance situated in the depth of approximately 3m below the surface. The primary single-room houses were apparently shifted behind today’s street front. The 14th century heart of the house on Alzbetina Street 17 was partly vaulted and partly covered by flat ceiling. The 15th century house on Dominikanske Square 11 apparently replaced older building. The single room with the barrel vault remained.
