Description
The world's arguably oldest shopping mall has been in business in the middle of Krakow's central Grand Square for 700 years. Circa 1300 a roof was put over two rows of stalls to form the first Sukiennice building – Cloth Hall – where the textile trade used to go on. It was extended into an imposing Gothic structure 108 meter long and eight meter wide in the second half of the 14th century.
It now has more of a 16th century look with gables and gargoyles. There was also a 19th century reconstruction. This is and was a center for trade.
It is the central feature of the main market square in the Kraków Old Town in Poland (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978 - Ref: 29bis.
