Be Amazed by How Colorful Wroclaw Market Square Is

Wroclaw Market Square is one of the most colorful city squares in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. The square is surrounded by all kinds of shops, monuments, and some of the most accidentally-Wes-Anderson-colored houses in Europe. The square was built during the founding of the city in the 13th Century and despite it being bombed during WW2, the layout of the square still remains pretty much what it was when it was built.

Most of the houses you see right now around Wroclaw Market Square were built in the 14th Century and even though the square was damaged during the war, these houses were pretty much intact and carefully restored to their former glory and what you see today. Some of them are so old that the traditional name of the building is still visible on the facade. You will frequently encounter titles like Under the Griffins and Under the Blue Sun here. The names of these historic structures are typically connected to the coat of arms or to the history of certain homes.
