Lonely Planet review for Stary Rynek

The Old Town is on the southern bank of the Brda River, a 20-minute walk from the train station. Its heart, Stary Rynek, is dominated by the palatial town hall and a large Modernist monument to the victims of fascism. It was here that the Nazi invaders kept hostages at gunpoint for two days in September 1939, shooting 40 of them. Nowadays the grim monument seems somewhat at odds with the life of the square and the surrounding streets.
