Площадь Old Market Square (Stary rynek) в Быдгоще, Польша

Площадь

The city’s central square was marked out in the year 1346, when the city was founded by King Casimir the Great, and its present-day buildings date back mainly to the 20th century. From in front of the monument we go along Farna Street towards the oldest church in Bydgoszcz, the Cathedral of Saints Martin and Nicholas (3). En route we pass the oldest pharmacy in Bydgoszcz – ”Under the Golden Eagle” at 1 Stary Rynek Street – and a grand edifice of the old Jesuit college from the 17th century, presently the City Hall. We enter the cathedral through 500-kg bronze doors on the ground floor of the church basement.
