The heart of every city is its market. It is no different in Kielce, where it even bears the name "Kielce Old Town". After a great overhaul, he recovered in 2011 his appearance from over a hundred years ago. He also, alongside the pedestrian precinct, a favorite place for walks and meetings of both the city and tourists.
The Kielce market was laid out during the site of the city in the fourteenth century, at the place of the former market square. Also in the following centuries he performed primarily commercial functions. There were also public buildings within it. During the last renovation in the middle of the square, remains of the old medieval town hall. The wall of its walls is today marked by a different color of stone.
The market is surrounded by tenements dating back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The most impressive building is the western town hall, occupying the entire frontage. Beside him, the inconspicuous townhouse at the corner of Mala Street was once a tavern. Its owners reportedly murdered and robbed their guests. Standing out from the other arcade facade, Kamienica Tomkiewicz is in turn the seat of the National Museum. An interesting figure of the Kielce market is the statue of Saint Tekla. It was set up here in the second half of the 18th century to protect the city from flood and plague.
