There is a Gothic spire fountain near the market square, which is colorful and gorgeous. Unfortunately, there is a fence outside, so you can't see it up close. It is said that turning the ring on the fence can bring good luck.

Numerous sheds were set up on the open space in front of the church, and with the addition of merchants, the main market square was formed~ All kinds of small merchants made people happy~ Some sold handicrafts, flowers, and various small items~ Most of them sold food - candied fruit, cheese, ham, red wine... There were many choices~ I bought a lot of food, and it tasted really good~
