The Altmarkt is the heart of the city and its oldest square; the first documented mention dates back to 1370.
It was the scene of court festivals and bourgeois revolutions, and it had famous residents such as Heinrich von Kleist and Carl Maria von Weber.
And the Striezelmarkt has been held here since 1434.
Today there are numerous shops, cafés and restaurants around the square, as well as the Altmarkt - Galerie, Dresden's largest shopping center.
