Historical Context
Gdansk’s Old Town is part of the Śródmieście district, the city’s oldest area, and has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. Gdansk received its city charter in 1236 and was granted city rights again before 1263, though it was later degraded in 1308. Sadly, the historic urban fabric was largely destroyed during World War II.
There is some confusion between Gdansk’s Old Town and the nearby Main Town, where most of the city’s monuments are located. Among Gdansk’s notable historical figures is astronomer Jan Heweliusz. Interestingly, the first rock and roll concert in Poland took place in 1959 at the ul. Garncarska club Rudy Kot.
