Town+Square-+Krakow

Town square Krakow is located in the middle of Poland. This place is so old that it dates back to the 13th century in 1257. Krakow was rebuilt at this time because there was the Mongol invasion in 1241 which left the city in ruins. So, when they rebuilt Krakow they figured they should make it really nice. The buildings in the Town Square were built in three different patterns. In addition, they made even right angles to the square. After rebuilding, they wanted to connect the old part that didn’t get destroyed to the new part that was rebuilt. Much of the town square is surrounded by palaces and old brick buildings. Many things went on in town square. Originally, there were lots of markets and food places in the square. The town square was mainly used for business or the execution of the prisoners. Also there were some good things happening in the town square. There were regal ceremonies and many festivities that happened in the town square. Many years ago, it was located on part of the Royal Road, which led to its popularity. Today, there are many historical sites, shops, cafes, places to visit, and festivals to attend in the Krakow town square. By- Kevin Marcano
