Main City, Historic quarter in Śródmieście, Poland.
The Main City is a historic quarter with narrow streets, tall merchant houses, and Gothic churches that shape the streetscape. The Motława River borders the area and connects it to the harbor.
The quarter developed in the Middle Ages as a major trading hub of the Hanseatic League, shaping Baltic commerce for centuries. Wars and destruction in the 20th century led to its rebuilding based on historical records.
The quarter displays merchant houses and museums that reflect how traders and craftspeople shaped daily life here over centuries. The architecture and collections tell the story of commerce and skilled work that defined the community.
The quarter is centrally located and easily walkable; several nearby train stations connect it to other districts. The narrow streets can become crowded during peak hours, so an early visit is advisable.
The quarter contains storage buildings from the 14th century where grain and amber were kept for worldwide trade. These structures remain visible today and show the place's importance for international commerce.
