View of the Old Town Market Square (Rynek Staromiejski) in Toruń: A part of the Gothic Town Hall can be seen on the left, and on the right stands the Nicolaus Copernicus Monument, dedicated to the famous astronomer born in Toruń. The Town Hall and the historic burgher houses survived the Second World War largely undamaged. Their facades represent a fascinating mix of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicism. Thanks to this exceptional and well-preserved architectural heritage, the Old Town of Toruń is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
