We are used to the fact that the most important places for tourists are the quarters of the old part of the city. And in Gdansk, two historical centers peacefully coexist: here, in addition to the Old, there is also the Main Town. Therefore, there are two town halls in Gdansk!
Although, some experts believe that there are three of them!
Town Hall of the Main City + Town Hall of the Old Town + New Town Hall.
The Old Town Hall (Ratusz Starego Miasta) was built in 1587-95. It is smaller in size compared to the Main City Hall, but it is located in a nice place near the river, surrounded by vegetation. And, it is known for the fact that Jan Hevelius worked in it - an assessor, deputy, a famous astronomer and brewer. In front of this town hall there is a monument to this outstanding person.
