Market Square in Gniezno

The Market Square in Gniezno is the main square of the town, located on Panieńskie Hill - one of the seven hills of Gniezno. This place already had a commercial character in the early Middle Ages.

History and buildings

A fire broke out in 1819, destroying many of the old buildings, which is why today's square is lined mainly with 19th-century townhouses. In the central part of the square there is a fountain and a semicircle with the coats of arms of towns belonging to the Association of Polish Towns.
