Market Square in Rzeszów
The Market Square in Rzeszów is a public plaza in the city center, surrounded by multi-story buildings from the 19th century featuring Renaissance and Baroque details. The Town Hall with its tall tower stands at its center, while restaurants, shops, and cafés around the perimeter bring activity to the space.
The area has been a trading hub since the 14th century, though most of today's buildings were erected after a major fire in 1842. Beneath the square lie medieval cellars and tunnels reaching down 10 meters, showing how merchants once stored their goods.
The square hosts markets, concerts, and celebrations where residents and visitors gather together. Local artists and musicians perform here regularly, showcasing Polish culture through everyday events.
The square is located in the city center and is easy to reach on foot, with many paths leading from here to the castle, churches, and museums. Visitors should arrive early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and find the best lighting for photographs.
Beneath the square extends a network of underground tunnels and cellars called Piwnica that reach down 10 meters deep. Guided tours reveal these remarkable spaces where merchants once stored goods and residents sought shelter.
