The Old Market Square in Płock is a rectangular square built at the beginning of the 14th century. Formerly it served as a marketplace, which was moved to the so-called New Market. It is now a meeting and walking place. You can admire historic tenement houses and the Aphrodite Fountain. Stage was also erected here. The market is a place where various events are organized, e.g. outdoor cinemas, concerts.
The buildings surrounding the square come mainly from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but there is also a baroque tenement house built at the end of the seventeenth century. One of the buildings houses the Darmstadt House, which is the former Berlin Hotel. The famous German writer Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann lived there. There is also a Press House, which once housed editorial offices of several newspapers.
One of the most important buildings that are located here is the town hall built in the nineteenth century in the classical style. It was in this building that the last sitting of the Seym of the Polish Kingdom was held. Every day at 12.00 and 18.00 the bugle call sounds from the town hall tower, and at noon after the bugle call the scene of Bolesław the Brave's knight's presentation is presented.
