Plac św. Józefa w Kaliszu, Heritage square in central Kalisz, Poland
The square features a pentagonal shape where four streets converge, surrounded by financial institutions and administrative buildings of historical significance.
Initiated in 1818 by architect Sylwester Szpilowski, the square underwent reconstruction after its destruction in 1914 and received modernizations in 1935 and 1998.
The square contains a monument to Pope John Paul II created by artist Jan Kucz in 1999, replacing earlier monuments that marked different historical periods.
The location connects to Plac Jana Pawła II northward, ulica Kolegialna southward, and streets Mariańska and Chodyńskiego toward the eastern section.
Maria Dąbrowska's 1931 novel 'Noce i dnie' mentions the square as plac Świętojański, describing its fountain that provided drinking water to residents.
