Wolnica Square

Poland, Krakow
Initially, the market square of the Polish city of Kazimierz, which in 1800 was annexed to its powerful "neighbor" - Krakow. Wolnica Square was an administrative and commercial center, as a salt trade route passed through it. The area was divided between butcher shops and cloth shops. On Saturdays, butchers working outside the guild had the right to trade freely (freely) - hence the name. Today's dimensions of the widow's square are smaller than the "original". The main attraction of the ancient place is the medieval town hall. In addition, a modern fountain "Three Musicians" by the famous Polish sculptor Bronisław Khromy has been installed on the square.

This area is one of the dominants of Kazimierz, which was a separate city until the end of the 18th century. The town hall building is located on the square - now an ethnographic museum. The first town hall in this city was built in the 14th century, and the remains of a stone building from 1414 can still be seen in the basement and on the ground floor. When Kazimierz became part of Krakow, an industrial and craft school was opened here, and later the building was handed over to the city's Jewish community.
