Market Square in Częstochowa, Historic market square in Częstochowa, Poland
The central square features numerous overhead statues by artist Jerzy Kędziora, including figures of acrobats, gymnasts, and cultural personalities suspended above the ground.
Dating back to medieval times, this square served as the primary trading hub where merchants gathered to sell their goods and conduct business transactions.
The square hosts fourteen balancing sculptures called 'Częstoch Fair', commemorating the city's 800-year history through artistic representations of local legends and international figures.
Visitors can observe the statues throughout the day, with the central fountain providing a meeting point and the surrounding benches offering resting spots.
The balancing statues create an illusion of weightlessness, with figures such as bell ringers, gymnasts, and Charlie Chaplin suspended in mid-air above the square.
