Spiš­ská Sobo­ta je dnes súčas­ťou Pop­ra­du. Je to veľ­mi pek­né mies­to, neveľ­ké, ale o to kraj­šie. Na nie­kto­rých domoch sú zacho­va­né typic­ké spiš­ské strechy.

V 12. sto­ro­čí vznik­la trho­vá osa­da Spiš­ská Sobo­ta, zrej­me na mies­te star­šie­ho hra­dis­ka. Od posled­nej tre­ti­ny 13. sto­ro­čia pat­ri­la k Spo­lo­čen­stvu spiš­ských Sasov. His­to­ric­ké náz­vy: Forum Sab­bat­hae, Sanc­tus Geor­gius, Mons Sanc­ti Geor­gii, Georgn­berg (spso​bo​ta​.szm​.com). Prí­cho­dom sas­kých Nemcov sa Spiš­ská Sobo­ta sta­la význam­ným mes­tom. Mest­ské prá­va má ude­le­né od roku 1271 od krá­ľa Šte­fa­na V.. Bola hos­po­dár­skym, admi­ni­stra­tív­nym stre­dis­kom, síd­lom cechov, obcho­dov, kul­tú­ry. Tak­mer celý stre­do­vek tu žilo 750900 oby­va­te­ľov. V roku 1545 požiar zni­čil tak­mer polo­vi­cu námes­tia a vežu kos­to­la. V roku 1775 zho­re­lo celé mes­to, ale zno­vu sa posta­vi­lo. V 20. sto­ro­čí naras­ta­la výstav­ba aj počet oby­va­te­ľov. Od roku 1950 je Mest­skou pamiat­ko­vou rezer­vá­ci­ou. Archi­tek­to­nic­ký a urba­nis­tic­ký ráz Spiš­skej Sobo­ty je rene­sanč­ný od roku 1775. Hlav­ný oltár Kos­to­la svä­té­ho Jura­ja je die­lom maj­stra Pav­la z Levo­če. Zná­mi rodá­ci: hoke­jis­ti Ľuboš Bar­teč­ko, Peter Bon­dra, Rado­slav Suchý (spso​bo​ta​.szm​.com). V 17. sto­ro­čí tu žila rez­bár­ska rodi­na Gros­sov­cov, sochá­ri Frid­rich a Ján Bro­koff. Medzi ďal­ších pat­ria: his­to­rik a špe­cia­lis­ta na goti­ku Anton Cyril Glatz, ces­to­va­teľ Tibor Szé­ke­ly (spso​bo​ta​.szm​.com), herec Ján Gal­lo­vič (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Od roku 1946 je Spiš­ská Sobo­ta mest­skou čas­ťou mes­ta Pop­rad (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk).


Spiš­ská Sobo­ta is now part of Pop­rad. It is a very char­ming pla­ce, not lar­ge in size but all the more beau­ti­ful. Some hou­ses still retain the typi­cal Spiš roofs.

In 1545, a fire des­tro­y­ed almost half of the squ­are and the church tower. In 1775, the enti­re town bur­ned down, but it was rebu­ilt.
