Krakow as greener? The trees can return to Maria Magdalena Square and the Main Square

Maria Magdalena Square in Krakow is to be rebuilt next year. Earlier we heard that the trees will also return to the Main Market Square. Krakow as greener – can it happen?

Greener Krakow

Monument to the Monument to the Jesuit Fr. Piotr Skarga is to disappear from Maria Magdalena Square soon. As determined by the portal LoveKrakow.pl, a tree and grass will be planted in its place.

It was made available in 2001, transferred to the square of the monument of Collegium Broscianum of the Jagiellonian University, if the rector agrees.

A green oasis in the middle of the city

Remove the pavement, plant a large tree, and sow grass. I think that such a green oasis will exceed the city’s appreciation and exceed the number of days – says a person from the Krakow city hall for the LoveKrakow.pl portal.

Reconstruction that made it impossible for the Kraków City Road Authority to stop in the following year.

Maria Magdalena Square, not the only place in the center of Krakow where they can return to the tree.

Will the trees return to the Main Market Square in Krakow?

The media reported in June that the City Greenery Authority in Krakow is at the stage of a historical inquiry. After its status, officials plan to write a letter to the conservator of monuments in order to allow access to the provincial market.

Historical query may suggest trees in places where they may already have grown. In the past, according to Gazeta Krakowska – in the interwar period, the rows, i.e. in the plant, were located along the front walls and the Cloth Hall. There are now café gardens in these places. Krakow was greener in the past.

I hope that this time we will get the result from the provincial conservator on planting more trees, on planting more trees, on the shade being a little more, and on this also giving the residents a privilege to rest, also on hot days. It seems that the trees are breaking through into consciousness more and more, also in these historic squares – commented in the red Piotr Kempf, Director of the City Greenery Board in Krakow.

The Provincial Office for the Protection of Monuments in Krakow claims that “increasing the biologically active area in the city is an urgent need”.
