Great Market Square (Zamość)

Poland / Lubelskie / Zamosc / Zamość
 square, interesting place, historic town square, 16th century construction

The Great Market Square belongs to the most beautiful 16th century squares in Europe. In every frontage of the square there is a complex of arcaded houses that used to belong to Zamość merchants. The square measures exactly 100 meters in both width and length. It is here that the two main axes of the old town cross.
The 600-meter longitudinal axis runs from the east to the west: from Bastion No. 7 to the Zamoyski Palace. The 400-meter crosswise axis runs from the north to the south, joining the Great Market Square to the two smaller market squares: Solny and Wodny.
