Description

Gdansk Main Town Hall is a historic Ratusz located in the Gdansk Main City borough of Srodmiescie.

It is one of the finest examples of the Gothic Renaissance historic buildings in the city, built at the intersection of the Long Lane and Long Market, in the most popular part of Gdansk.
The Main Town Hall in Gdańsk houses the History Museum of the City of Gdansk.

Gdansk is a city in Poland, a country located in Central Europe, lying on the Motlawa river on the Baltic coast.

The Polish name Motława is derived from the Old Prussian language. In German the river is known as Mottlau.

It is the capital of the Pomeranian Voivodeship and the capital of Kashubia, Poland's principal seaport and the centre of the country's fourth largest metropolitan area.

The city lies on the southern edge of Gdansk Bay (of the Baltic Sea), in a conurbation with the city of Gdynia, spa town of Sopot, and suburban communities, which together form a metropolitan area called the Tricity (Trójmiasto).

A common theory for the etymology of the cities Gdańsk and Gdynia is that they are named after an older Polish and Kashubian name for the river, Gdania.
