Old Town, Historical quarter in Gdańsk, Poland
The Old Town features narrow buildings painted in orange, yellow, and green hues, with detailed casings and paintings along cobblestone streets.
During World War II, approximately 90 percent of the Old Town structures were destroyed, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts in the following decades.
The reconstruction focused on Dutch Renaissance influences, reflecting Gdańsk's connection with the Netherlands during the 16th century through architectural elements.
The compact Old Town area allows visitors to explore major landmarks on foot, including the Green Gate, High Gate, and St Mary's Basilica.
The Green Gate, built between 1564 and 1568, represents the first example of Dutch mannerism in Gdańsk and served as residence for Polish monarchs.
