This square was once the centre of activity in Gdansk: the main market, popular festivals and performances were held here. The typical houses with sculpted front stoops above cellar entrances have been restored. In the centre of the square, the Neptune Fountain dates from the 17C. Artus House was a place for local merchants to gather. Golden House, adjoining it, is decorated with bas-reliefs and busts. Here Brutus and Horace are eye to eye with two Kings of Poland!
