The Market Square is located in the Old Town on Panieński Hill, one of Gniezno. After a devastating fire in 1819 that destroyed most of Gniezno, the square was rebuilt according to new urban planning that created a spatial axis between the cathedral and the evangelical church, with only two original medieval buildings surviving. Today the cobblestone square features a fountain inaugurated in 2014, and during winter months it hosts a 10-12 meter Christmas tree and an ice rink that has operated since 2008.
