Wieża Ratuszowa w Toruniu | Widok na stare miasto // Toruń Old Town Hall Tower - Panoramic views

Dating back to 1274, the Town Hall Tower in Toruń is not only one of the oldest monuments in Poland, but is also the oldest market tower in Central and Eastern Europe.

From the platform located at the top of the tower, at a height of 40 metres, there is a wonderful panoramic view of the entire Medieval City Complex and other districts.

The construction of the tower was modelled on the Flemish Belfry (Beffroi) market towers, usually built in conjunction with market halls, which are also observation and signal watchtowers. Toruń established close commercial and cultural contacts with the cities of Flanders (mainly Bruges, Ghent, Ypres) by the mid-thirteenth century.

Since around 1385-1388, a clock on the tower has shown the four corners of the world the current time, while the two bells inside the tower (hourly and minute) date back to 1728.
