Market Square in Sokołów Małopolski
Sokołów Małopolski is an old trading settlement from the 13th or 14th century, once nestled within the Sandomierz Forest and chartered as a city in 1569. It has retained its natural urban layout, validated by its Renaissance charter. Ribbed streets stemming from the market square define a square with sides measuring approximately 150 metres. The church is located outside the square's boundaries. The majority of the buildings are single-story, dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries, with a few surviving examples of Art Nouveau architecture. A standout feature is the town hall building with a clock in its attic and intricate window stucco work. The park now serves a recreational role as it is covered with trees. In the centre stands a monument to the town's residents who fought and gave their lives for Poland's independence.
