The Saline Square

Wroclaw, Poland

Plac Solny (the Saline Square) is a former medieval marketplace in Wroclaw adjoining the Market Square. It's surrounded with old tenement houses in Renaissance style.
It dates back to the 13th ce
Altogether there were 12 wooden sheds. Such formerly luxurious articles as honey, furs, caviar or tea were also traded there.
The salt stalls ceased to operate in 1815. Today it's a place of a flower market.
Under the Saline Square there is a shelter covering the surface of 1000 m2, capable of holding 300 people.
During the war it had its own toilets, sewage system and two exits.
