Lanckorona’s Market Square in the Context of the Landscape

2005 saw the completion of a project featuring the restoration of the surface of the Market Square in Lanckorona (the powiat of Wadowice, Lesser Poland Voivodship), funded by European Union funds. The design bound the contemporary needs of residents and tourists with the tradition of the place. It is also characterised by attractive visual linkages with the hills of the Beskidy Mountains seen in the background. The walls of this urban interior are composed of the frontages of timber residential market-side buildings. The construction included all of the design’s assumptions and the market square currently enjoys significant popularity, being often used by residents and tourists, with its surface often playing host to occasional open-air events.
