Trybunalski Market Square in Piotrków Trybunalski, market square in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland

Rynek Trybunalski is the main square of Piotrków Trybunalski's Old Town, laid out in the 14th century and measuring roughly 50 by 65 metres. Eight streets originally left its corners, two of them leading to city gates. The surrounding houses, mostly 18th- and 19th-century with classicist and eclectic facades, stand on older foundations; the outline of the demolished town hall is marked on the paving.

The square was laid out in the 14th century, with eight streets leaving its corners, two of them leading to the city gates. It served as a market place with stalls and as the town's administrative centre until the town hall was demolished after 1867. A brick town hall is documented from the mid-16th century; a tower was added in 1611, and the Crown Tribunal is believed to have sat there from the 16th to the 18th century.

The square takes its name from the tribunal that once convened here and shaped the city's identity. Today you can see how residents and visitors use the space to shop at weekend markets, meet friends on benches, and celebrate local festivals with music and food.

The square lies about 900 m from the railway and bus stations, in the centre of the Old Town. Eight streets leave its corners; Sieradzka and Grodzka once led to the city gates. The outline of the demolished town hall foundations is marked on the paving, next to a reconstructed pillory.

On the square's paving, the outline of the town hall foundations is marked, and a reconstructed pillory stands nearby. A plaque commemorates the 400th anniversary of the Crown Tribunal, which is believed to have sat in the town hall between the 16th and 18th centuries.
