medieval quarter
Old town section
A medieval quarter is a district within a city that preserves the character of the Middle Ages—narrow winding streets, old stone buildings, historic churches.
Many European cities maintain such areas as heritage sites and tourist attractions: We spent the afternoon wandering the medieval quarter of Prague.
The term quarter here means neighborhood or district.
