    • MERCHANTS' HOUSES • These are probably the m • MERCHANTS' HOUSES • These are probably the most recognisable houses on the Poznań's Old Market Square 🏘 How cute are they, right?! 💕 . Situated on the south side of the town hall, they are a relic of old commercial facilities. In the Middle Ages, there were wooden shacks in this place, where the merchants would sell herring, salt, ropes, torches and candles 🐟🕯 . 🏠 Over time, brick replaced the wood and a row of narrow, one- and two-axis tenement houses were built, serving the owners for an apartment. As time passed, the arcades were walled up, creating small shops . 🏩 The tenement houses were almost completely destroyed during World War II. After the war, the arcades were reconstructed using original, Renaissance details. . 🎭 The narrow, single- and double-window facades of most of the tenement houses are covered with polychromes designed by Zbigniew Bednarowicz, made in 1953–1961. . . . . . #miastopoznan #magicalpoland #europestyle_ #discover_europe_ #pocztowkazpolski #polandsights #PolandPhotos #world_of_poland #tlpicks #hello_worldpics #passionpassport #borntotravel #sdmtravels #IAmaTraveler #bestplacestogo #lensbible #bestcitybreaks #travel_drops #hello_cities #incredible_europe #europe_perfection #topeuropephoto #lonelyplanet #mytinyatlas #cbviews #voyaged #the_daily_traveller #ig_europa #map_of_europe #travelanddestinations
    • TOWN HALL & GOATS • The Town Hall in Poznań • TOWN HALL & GOATS • The Town Hall in Poznań is undoubtedly the most important symbol of the city and the central point of the Old Market Square 🏫 . No trip to Poznań can take place without watching two billy goats appear on the top of the tower and butt heads! 🐐🐐 . They are, of course, not real goats, but a part of a clock mechanism - cuckoo clock style 🤓 .

There are 4 fountains on the Old Market Square in Poznań - this is the Fountain of Apollo, a Greek god of sun and light, the embodiment of harmony and moral virtue🏛 . I decided to post a photo of the back of the fountain, because I found a fun fact about it! 😃 The sculpture here is criticised by art experts and prudish people. 👨‍🎨 First ones have objections to the proportions of the divine body, the second - to his bare, protruding buttocks! 🙈🙊 . . . . . . #miastopoznan #magicalpoland #europestyle_ #discover_europe_ #pocztowkazpolski #polandsights #PolandPhotos #world_of_poland #topeuropephoto #lonelyplanet #borntotravel #sdmtravels #IAmaTraveler #bestplacestogo #lensbible #bestcitybreaks #travel_drops #hello_cities #incredible_europe #europe_perfection #mytinyatlas #cbviews #voyaged #the_daily_traveller #ig_europa #map_of_europe #travelanddestinations #tlpicks #hello_worldpics #passionpassport
