What makes Firlej’s market square distinctive?
The market square offers several points of reference for understanding the townscape: it is square in shape, and its buildings date from around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The square’s design has also changed. The once spacious market square was transformed into a tree-lined square. This makes it possible to see the historic buildings and the square’s present-day design as distinct aspects.
A monument to Józef Piłsudski is also part of the square’s history: it was unveiled at its center in 1992. The date refers to the unveiling of the monument. Together with the square’s shape and buildings, this offers different perspectives on the market square—from its layout and buildings to its commemorative heritage.
