About Rynek we Wrocławiu
The Rynek of Wrocław structures the old town around the town hall and a set of façades from different periods. The square functions as a starting point for walks among the shopping streets, the former municipal building and the surrounding passages.
The town hall displays Gothic volumes and details that contrast with the surrounding houses. Observing the façades helps to perceive reconstructions and continuities in the urban design. Visits to interior exhibitions should be arranged separately from the walk through the open space.
Walk the sides of the square before heading to the river, avoiding treating the Rynek merely as a thoroughfare. The small dwarf sculptures scattered across the city may appear along the route, but they do not replace reading the architectural ensemble and its main buildings.
