Historic Market Square
Gera’s market square has been the civic heart of the city for centuries. The Renaissance town hall, built from 1573 to 1575, anchors the square beside the richly decorated city pharmacy and the Simson Fountain.
Look closely at the town hall’s ornate portal and the mix of façades around the square. The square is still a place to meet, shop and celebrate—so the historic centre remains part of everyday city life.
