The urban development of the settlement began at Gallusplatz. Craftsmen and other people settled directly in front of the monastery walls. They were the first people from St. Gallen who did not belong to the monastic community. Within the old town of St. Gallen, Gallusplatz appears unusually spacious. In the middle of the square, a fountain designed by Rudolf Seitter in 1936 commemorates St. Gallus.
