• Plac Wolnica (Pass by)

  This square is part of the original market square of the city of Kazimierz, created in 1335 when the city was founded. It used to be as large as the Krakow market square and served similar functions - trade took place here, and there was also a town hall, where the highest administrative and judicial authorities of the city of Kazimierz had their seat. Other public buildings were also located here: stalls, scales or a shearing room. The present name of Plac Wolnica derives from the Latin Forum liberum (the right to free trade in meat outside stalls) and has existed in this form since the end of the 18th century, when Kazimierz was granted the privilege of free trade.
