The Long Market Square (Długi Targ), Gdańsk, Poland
Photo taken from The Green Gate.
The Long Market Square is not only the heart of Gdańsk, but also a treasure trove of exceptional examples of architecture. Walking along The Long Market Square allows you to admire the wealth of architectural styles, from Gothic, through Renaissance, to Mannerism. Each building, each tenement house has its own history, reflecting the rich past of Gdańsk.

The Town Hall in Gniew, Poland
Located in the central part of the market square, was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. It was originally a quadrangular structure with an internal courtyard, a tower and stalls on the ground floor. The building was seriously damaged during the Swedish wars in the 17th century. A major renovation of the town hall for 6,150 thalers was carried out in 1853 by master mason Erich Obuch from Gniew. A stylish arcade was built in front of the northern elevation and the town hall was decorated with a balcony.
In 1818, the eastern wing was demolished, and in its place in 1823, an Evangelical church was built. The southern wing and the tower were demolished in 1836, and in their place, residential houses were built, which originate from the times when stalls with goods for sale were placed around it. Today, its oldest parts include the basement and the ground floor.
In January 1920, the residents built a field altar in front of the town hall, on which on January 27, parish priest Ignacy Rosentreter celebrated a holy mass for soldiers from the Pomeranian Front of General Józef Haller, who annexed Gniew to Poland after 148 years of partition.

St. Nicholas Cathedral, Elbląg, Poland
It is one of the oldest religious buildings in Elbląg and one of the highest temples in Poland. The tower itself is 97 m high, and the viewing terrace is located at about 70 m. To get to the terrace, you have to climb 365 stairs. However the beautiful views at the top, along with the panorama of Elbląg and the surrounding area, compensate for all the effort! :)

Christmas Market Wroclaw as one of the best one
Christmas Market Wrocław has been my goal to visit for a long time. It is recommended by many people as one of the best markets in this country and in this part of Europe. Finally, this month I visited it! I am not disappointed. Among markets of this size, it is one of the best. Whether it is the best can be a topic for open discussion. For me personally, as someone who has visited many, […]

The Przybyłowski Tenement Houses, Kazimierz Dolny, Poland
The Przybyłowski tenement houses were built in 1615, in the southern corner of the Kazimierz market square. Their name comes from the names of the owners, wealthy brothers Mikołaj and Krzysztof Przybyła, who decorated the tenement houses with images of their patron saints. The adjacent houses have an identical arrangement of facades: a ground floor with arcades and a first floor with three windows. The facades are richly decorated with bas-reliefs depicting people, animals, plant and linear ornaments, Christian and mythological, medieval fantasies and Renaissance grotesques. All this is interwoven with Latin philosophical maxims. Both tenement houses were apparently polychrome, as evidenced by the traces still visible today.
The older tenement house, “Under Saint Nicholas”, is named after the bas-relief of Saint Nicholas placed between the first floor windows. The decorative pilasters in the corners of the building feature bas-reliefs of Saint James and Saint Thomas. After 1772, the building served as the town hall.
The tenement house “Under Saint Krzysztof” took its name from the gigantic bas-relief in the center of the facade, showing Saint Christopher, carrying little Jesus through the water, sitting on his shoulder. The figures of Judith and Salome appear on the pilasters in the corners of the building. The roof of the building has been preserved in its original form, i.e. it is concave.
Currently, the Przybyłowski Tenement Houses house the City Hall and the Bank.

Opatowska Gate, Sandomierz, Poland
It is a Gothic entrance gate from the 2nd half of the 14th century. It was built by Casimir the Great as part of the city’s defensive walls. The planning of the old town also dates from this period. At that time, the city was guarded by four gates. In addition to the Opatowska Gate, you could get to the center through the Zawichojska Gate, the Lublin Gate, also known as the Fisherman’s Gate, and the Krakow Gate.
Currently, the Opatowska Gate is approximately 30 m high, although originally it was slightly lower. The generosity of the wallet of the Sandomierz doctor Stanisław Bartolon in the 16th century allowed the gate to be enriched with an attic. It is worth remembering that of the entire Sandomierz city defense system, only the Opatowska Gate together with adjacent fragments of the walls and the lower part of the tower have survived to this day.

Town Hall, Sandomierz, Poland
Initially, the Town Hall in Sandomierz was a Gothic building with simple architecture on a square plan. It was built in the 14th century, just after the Lithuanian invasion. In the 16th century, it was expanded into an elongated rectangle and then topped with a three-zone attic, the author of which is attributed to Giovanni Maria Padovano. At the beginning of the 17th century, a tower was added on the western side.
On the southern wall of the Town Hall there is a sundial made in the sgraffito technique by Tadeusz Przypkowski, former owner of the clock museum in Jędrzejów. In front of the Town Hall you can admire the statue of Our Lady Immaculate from 1776.
The Town Hall’s basements probably served as a prison. It is even possible that prisoners were tortured here - this is evidenced by the hooks and rings mounted on the walls.
Currently, the Town Hall houses the District Museum and the Civil Registry Office. The rooms are decorated in a Renaissance-Baroque style.
At 12.00, the Sandomierz bugle call is played from the Town Hall tower.
