Poznan's Stary Rynek
Poznan has one of the most captivating Ryneks in all of Poland. It features a fabulous Gothic town hall or Ratusz which has to be one of the greatest buildings of its kind in Central Europe. Like other rynek's throughtout Poland the buildings that surround the Rynek are brightly painted. West of the town hall is a row of houses called the Houses of the Keepers. They date from the 16th century and were at onetime the homes of local traders. These are the oldest builidngs in the square. There are many decent restaurants and cafes surrounding the Stary Rynek. It was a nice sunny day when I was here so I got to sit on an outdoor patio and watch life go by. This was rare occasion in Poland because of the foul weather that I experienced for most of my journey.
