Poznań Old Town, Medieval district in Poznań, Poland

The neighborhood centers on a square measuring 140 meters on each side, featuring renaissance buildings and narrow cobblestone streets spanning 0.21 square kilometers.

Founded in 1253 on the left bank of the Warta River, this settlement expanded beyond its original walls during Prussian administration in 1797.

The district maintains a collection of historical structures, including the Renaissance Town Hall and numerous merchant houses surrounding the central market square.

Visitors can access the district through multiple entry points, with main thoroughfares including Podgórna, Marcinkowskiego, Solna, and Małe Garbary streets.

Two mechanical goats emerge from the Town Hall tower each day at noon to perform a head-butting ritual that marks the passing hours.
