The market square in Pruchnik

As in other villages, the market square in Pruchnik no longer holds a market, but it remains an example of the urban layout of a small Galician town. Surrounded by low-rise single-family buildings, except the magistrate's office in the northern part, it is well landscaped and the monuments are well described. The oldest wooden houses, most with arcades or terraces, date from the 18th century. Attention is drawn to the pillars supporting them and the stone foundations visible at some of the buildings. The old houses are covered with shingles. The market square is mostly grassy, with numerous benches to relax, and from the town hall, the forest panorama of the hills south of the city is visible.
