Hlavné námestie, Central square and pedestrian zone in Košice, Slovakia
Hlavné námestie is a rectangular plaza in central Košice surrounded by historic buildings with arcades and varied architectural facades. The open space allows people to move freely and is organized by benches, street lamps, and occasional installations.
The square originated in medieval times as a marketplace where traders sold goods and conducted business. Over the centuries it evolved into the city's most important public space and continues to shape Košice's character today.
Musicians and artists regularly perform in this space, drawing crowds from around the city. The square serves as a meeting place where locals gather for celebrations and everyday social moments.
The entire area is flat and easily walkable, with plenty of seating and lighting for day and night use. It is a safe place to rest or watch city life unfold around you.
Sensor technology embedded beneath the pavement helps manage parking around the square and guides traffic intelligently. This invisible infrastructure shows how modern thinking blends with the square's historic character.
