🏛 Market Square and the Round Tower

Выборг, Рыночная пл.

A square on the seafront with the early-20th-century stone Covered Market building.

The square appeared in the late 19th century on the site of the Horned Fortress fortifications, razed under a plan of 1861.
The Round Tower was built in 1547–1550 — one of the two surviving defensive towers of the medieval Vyborg fortress.
In 1609 the Treaty of Vyborg on Swedish aid to Tsar Vasily Shuisky was signed in the Round Tower.
Since 1976 the Round Tower has housed a restaurant with murals on themes from Vyborg's history.
The Covered Market was built in 1904–1905 to a design by Karl Hård af Segerstad and was considered the largest in Scandinavia in the early 20th century.
From 1912 to 1957 the Vyborg tram ran through the square.
