Old Town Square. Walking along the square and watching carefully the architectural details of the façades you may notice the various styles which had followed one another in the construction of the houses: at n.21 Klucznikowska House, with its Gothic elements; at n.32 Baryczka House, with its late Renaissance and Baroque style; at n.34 Szlichtyngowska House which,
together with Little Negro House at n. 36 and Talents House at n.38, shows the Renaissance elements. Other façades are distinguished by their Neo-classic style.
Warsaw's most important public square
in the 18th century. Whether festivities, fairs, or even occasional public executions, the square was the place to be. The buildings that you find in the square were once owned by rich Warsaw merchants. The higher and wider the building, the more wealthy the owner of the building.
If you like Polish food, you'll find yourself in heaven as there are several fine restaurants on the square's south and west sides including the famous Fukier and Bazyliszek restaurants.
You can also try out the horse-drawn carriage (dorozka), and enjoy a romantic tour of the narrow streets
of Old Town.
