Market Square in Starogard Gdański
The Market Square in Starogard Gdański is one of the oldest and most recognizable places in the city. Its history dates back to the 13th century, and in 1305, after the sale of the village to the Teutonic Knights, the construction of a fortified settlement began, with the market square becoming its heart. The market measures 107 m × 107 m, making it one of the largest medieval squares in Poland. Following a fire in 1792, most of the town's buildings were destroyed, but they were rebuilt on medieval foundations, with the current structures dating back to the 19th century. During the market's renovation in 2018, stone foundations of medieval wells were discovered, which, after reconstruction, became one of the market's tourist attractions. Today, the market is a vibrant place where visitors can spend time in cafés, restaurants, shops, and by the fountains.
