This week, Spotlight comes to you from the little town of Policka, which nestles on the border between Bohemia and Moravia. Policka's an interesting destination for a day trip, boasting a perfectly preserved medieval wall which forms a ring around the picturesque old town. Policka's also the birthplace of one of the Czech Republic's most famous composers, Bohuslav Martinu, who was born and grew up at the top of a church tower in the town square. For more on this fascinating town, tune into Spotlight with Rob Cameron.
