The lively New Square in the heart of Kazimierz

Lively daytime scene of Plac Nowy (New Square), the beating heart of Krakow's Kazimierz district. In the center stands the characteristic Okraglak, the circular red brick rotunda built in the 19th century as a kosher poultry market, today famous for zapiekanka stalls, the typical Polish pizza. Historic buildings with mural-decorated facades surround the square where locals and tourists mingle among cafes, flea markets and restaurants. Kazimierz, once a Jewish ghetto, is today Krakow's most bohemian and trendy neighborhood.
