Rynek we Wroc?awiu

What people are saying:

Rynek we Wroclaw is the medieval market square in Wroclaw in southwestern Poland. The buildings around the square are built in different styles: the middle part of the ring is a building composed of the old town hall, the new town hall and numerous citizen houses. The Market Square is an urban complex with two diagonally continuous areas-the salt market and the square in front of St. Elizabeth's Church. 11 streets leading to the market: two at each corner, two narrow lanes and an open external square "Chicken Market". The market was first established under Magdeburg law and was first ruled by Henry I, Duke of Poland, the Beard I between 1214 and 1232. With the passage of time, houses of the nobles appeared, and by the middle of the 14th century, they had formed a closed building-defined plot. Until the late 1970s, vehicles were able to travel along the east-west axis. Between 1996 and 2000, the square was re-paved, and the last east side accessible by cars was walked.
