Wrocław Old Town, Medieval district in Wrocław, Poland

The Market Square forms the heart of the Old Town, featuring Gothic townhouses, ceremonial halls, and an ornate Town Hall with a 66-meter tower.

Founded in the 13th century under Magdeburg Law, the Old Town merged two settlements into one city surrounded by defensive walls and moats.

The district houses numerous museums, including the Royal Palace, Archaeological Museum, and City Museum, displaying artifacts from different historical periods.

Eleven streets radiate from the central Market Square, connecting visitors to churches, university buildings, restaurants, and the preserved medieval cellars.

The district contains over 300 small bronze gnome statues placed throughout the streets, representing characters from local legends and historical events.
