Bohuslav Martinů was born in the tower of the church of St. James in Polička in 1890, where his father served as the town fire watchman. The family's living quarters in the tower have been reconstructed as a memorial to the composer, whose symphonies and operas brought him international recognition during his exile years. The annual Martinů Fest brings chamber music and orchestral performances to the town each May.
