Śródka, Poznań, Historic district on the right bank of the Warta River in Poznań, Poland.

Śródka sits across from Ostrów Tumski on the right bank of the Warta River and features the central Rynek Śródecki marketplace surrounded by historic churches and traditional tenement houses dating from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Archaeological evidence suggests continuous settlement since the 9th century, with Śródka receiving town rights in the 15th century before becoming an independent city for over 350 years until its formal incorporation into Poznań in 1800.

The district hosts the Śródka Tale Mural created in 2015 depicting local historical figures including a butcher, trumpeter, and Duke Władysław Odonic, while its name derives from the Polish word for Wednesday, reflecting the traditional weekly markets held here.

Bishop Jordan's Bridge, opened in December 2007 and constructed from the historic St. Roch road bridge span, connects the district as a pedestrian footbridge to Ostrów Tumski and provides direct access from central Poznań via tram services.

The Church of St. Kazimierz, built for Franciscans in 1685, now belongs to the Old Catholic Church of Poland while its former monastery building from 1704 currently operates as a school for the deaf.
