Myslowice: Rynek w Mysłowicach
Mysłowice occupies the confluence area of the Black and White Przemsza rivers in Poland’s Silesian Voivodeship. Rynek w Mysłowicach is the central square of the old town, a compact civic space of paved streets, townhouses and public monuments. The city received town rights in 1360 and developed at a historic frontier zone. Nearby, the Three Emperors’ Corner marked the meeting point of the Prussian, Austrian and Russian empires from 1846 to 1915. Mysłowice later became part of Upper Silesia’s industrial belt, while its market square remains a social and administrative focal point.

Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War.
