Old Market Square, Historic medieval square in Poznań, Poland

The square forms a perfect 141-meter sided quadrilateral with three streets extending from each side, creating a systematic medieval urban layout.

The square originated in 1253 when the ducal seat moved to the left bank of the Warta River, establishing the central marketplace.

The Renaissance Town Hall dominates the center, while merchant houses and historic tenements from different periods frame the square's perimeter.

The square contains multiple restaurants, cafes, museums, and the Tourist Information Center, making it a central point for visitors to Poznań.

Four fountains featuring mythological figures mark the corners, including Neptune, Mars, Apollo, and the local symbol Proserpina.
