Polička combines a compact walled centre with an open highland setting in a way that reflects its position on the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The Bílý potok runs through this eastern Bohemian town, whose medieval fortifications remain an important part of its identity. Polička was founded in the 13th century as a royal town, and substantial sections of its stone walls and bastions still encircle the historic core. The Church of St James is closely associated with composer Bohuslav Martinů, who was born in the church tower in 1890.
