Old Market Square in Poznan

If the beginnings of Poznań began on Ostrów Tumski, where did the Old Market Square come from? The mystery is solved by the figures of Przemysł I and Bolesław the Pious, who decided to move the town to the other side of the river to provide its inhabitants with more space. In 1253, the market square and the streets leading from it were marked out, today so popular among both visitors and locals. And this is probably what we are most interested in in the Old Town - in many cities, the markets become a beautiful but empty tourist shell with highly inflated prices, and in Poznań it seems that this place is still alive also among the residents. #poland #poznan #center #market
