Rynek Jeżycki in Poznań
Rynek Jeżycki is a market square in Poznań with stalls selling fresh produce, fruit, and local goods. The plaza is framed by older buildings, including a structure from 1904 originally built for a wine merchant.
The square was officially named in 1908 and was previously known as West Market or Jersitz. It became a center of trade activity in the early 1900s when the formerly separate village of Jeżyce was incorporated into the city of Poznań.
The square takes its name from the former village of Jeżyce, incorporated into the city around 1900. It serves as a gathering place where locals buy fresh goods and meet neighbors, keeping its role as a social hub for the district.
The square is easily accessible on foot since many district residents live just minutes away by walking. Visitors should explore the area during daytime hours when there is more light and foot traffic.
A distinctive feature of the square was a small pavilion where a woman sold fresh milk, a beloved stop for many local residents. This simple yet memorable tradition shows how closely the square was tied to everyday neighborhood life.
