Marketplace of Pirna
====================

- Market square

Historic market square in Pirna with colorful terraced houses and St. Mary's Church in the background.

As in Canaletto's painting "The market place to Pirna" artistic ornated town houses and charming courtyards testify to the over 775-year history of Pirna.

The city centre, preserved in its original state, with the guildhall, rich in gothic portals, the Sonnenstein fortress, the protestant city church of St. Marien and the Canaletto-house tell the story of the more than 775-year-old city. By the way, several historical townscapes of Pirna can be admired in the picture gallery in Dresden - painted by the famous Italian veduta artist Bernardo Bellotto, called Canaletto.
