		It was a large market of five and a half acres, functioning from the 11th century until 1928.
		A wall was built across the market, running east to west, dividing the animal market from the grain and commercial market - not as some people have suggested, to divide the two peoples.

	Nottingham Civic Society - Old Market Square, Nottingham
		Looking at the path of light and shade across the square during the course of a day, it is clear that the north side receives sunlight for most of the day except in winter, as this is the edge on which we have placed a band of informal seating steps.
		The Old Market Squares materials and features need to be robust to last the test of time, designed and selected to be in sympathy with their context, but unique to create a distinctive character to the place.
		The central market square should be a large flush light coloured surface of slip resistant granite that matches the Portland stone used in the Council House.

		The Old Market Square is the city’s guardian space, a safe haven, a place to regain energy, wait and meet friends, be diverted momentarily from one’s daily routines and to experience spectacular and well organised civic and cultural events.
		Beast Market Hill and South Parade remain as the destination for trams and buses, whilst Long Row with its elevated view over the square and sunny position will become a terrace for cafés and restaurants and a pedestrian avenue to promenade and window shop.
		We believe that Old Market Square, at the very heart of Nottingham, can be one of the most impressive public spaces in Europe and we intend that it shall be.

	Lomza Album
		The interesting part of the town from the Jewish point of view is the "Stary Rynek" (the Old Market Square), the surrounding streets, and the areas around the two Jewish cemeteries.
		These are in the Old Jewish Cemetery, situated on a knoll in the Rybaki area of Lomza, originally an independent fishing village (which is what "Rybaki" means) that became a Jewish neighborhood at a time when Jews were forbidden to dwell in Lomza.
		As at the outdoor market of Vilnius (the largest outdoor market in Europe, which is unsurprisingly much better), all the vendors are Belorussians who commute from across the border for the purpose, and all the vehicles in the parking lot (the right picture of the second row) bear Belorussian tags.

	Wroclaw Market Square \| Wroclaw Rynek
		The Main Square, or 'Rynek' as it is called in Polish, was laid out way back in the mists of time, in the 13th Century, after the city was razed to the ground by marauding Mongols.
		In actual fact, owing to the almost total destruction of the Market Square in World War II, all of the buildings which you now see are 20th Century reconstructions of their predecessors - painstakingly brought back to life by the Poles after they inherited the city in the wake of the war.
		Where Wroclaw's Square differs most to its Krakow counterpart is that it's middle part - the Sukiennice - is much bigger; and in fact, where once trading stalls used to indulge in commerce, you will now find four rows of brightly painted buildings split by three small alleyways.

		The nomination is correct in saying that several festivals make use of the square, as well as a weekly farmer's market in the summer.
		Market Square has great physical structure, but Winnipeg's Exchange, although a National Historic Site with incredible architecture, hasn't yet been embraced by Winnipeggers and still suffers from the stigma that it is not safe.
