Nonetheless, Śródka's new market square displays plenty of charms, arguably the foremost of which is its most modern addition - a huge mural overlooking the square, whose 3D perspective adds depth, colour and character to the area. Inspired by a 1920s photograph, the mural by Radosław Barek was completed in 2015; you can see a similarly fabulous mural of his in Jeżyce at ul. Słowackiego 62.
Across from the mural is St. Margaret’s Church, dating prior to 1231, which features a stunted Gothic tower outside and the 17th-century chapel of St. Philip Neri inside, the latter of which prompted the Philippine Order to build their first monastery in PL across the street (today a music school).
Although markets no longer take place here, Rynek Śródecki is a lovely place to take a rest in the garden of 'Do Środka' restaurant.
