Gdansk Town Hall | Jeannie's Travel Addiction

May 15, 2015

Gdansk is such a beautiful city with so many nooks and crannies to be explored. For this last posting of Gdansk I mulled over all of my photos for the best of the last……

Everywhere I looked there were interesting and lovely sights. Even the porches and banisters were elaborate with pansies everywhere.

Entrance to the old Town Hall, now a museum.

An entire block of buildings were fashioned with these creatures serving as gutter drains on their porches.

Inviting outdoor cafes were everywhere, each chair also providing a blanket as the spring night chill rolls in.

The dark side of Gdansk’s past – originally built in 1531 as the city’s fortification, torture chamber, courthouse, tower prison and execution location, now a museum.

Also, remaining today is this part of the city’s fortification and gate.

18th century granary on the water front, now wonderfully restored and home to Hotel Gdansk.

This intricately painted building in the middle has to be the skinniest building I have ever seen.

The local’s Market Hall is a great place to browse for most anything, even the excavated remains of an monastery where bones of Dominican monks were found when the building was being renovated.
