    Bischofswerda's Old Market Square and Town Hall. Circular hiking trails and the Saxon Way of St. James pass through here.

    Information:

    Bischofswerda's historic cityscape combines history with modernity. The foundations of the old town hall have been partially exposed and are accessible to everyone.

    Since the redesign of the medieval town center, the Media Tower has formed the center of the square. It stands on the site of the old town hall and, at 12.27 meters high, symbolizes the first documented mention of Bischofswerda in 1227.
