The Market Square

The central square of the Old Town is the Market Square with the Town Hall and a well from the 17th century. The present Market is slightly diff erent from the original 15th-century appearance - only the three frontages are built-up with tenement houses that have undergone reconstructi on over the centuries. There are hotels, restaurants, clubs, pubs, museums and various institutions. One of the more interesti ng is the tenement house No. 19. The fragments of brick-stone walls and Gothic arches and lintels discovered in the basement that can be seen in the Underground Tourist Route, date back to the beginning of the 15th and 16th centuries. On summer evenings, near the Town Hall you can watch the performances of famous singers, music and vocal groups and dance troupes.
