The Ring , in Polish Rynek , is a medieval market square in Sanok , which nowadays forms the core of the pedestrian zone .

The ring has the shape of a square measuring 81 by 81 m. The market square is in front of the Sanok town hall on a hill to the left of the San .

Its origins go back to the year 1339, when the last Prince Boleslaus granted the city of Sanok " German law ". The market square in Sanok is dominated by the Franciscan Church, and most of the mendicant orders erected large public buildings in the medieval city.

3 Maja Street (connection to Jagiellonska), Grodkagasse (connection to Michaelmarkt and the parish church), Zamkowa Street (connection to the castle ), Cerkiewna Street and Franciszkańska Street, as well as the historic Franciscan staircase from the Blonia level on , flow into the square Plowce brook, the Sanoker locksmith's staircase and the streamer stairs as connections to the suburbs. In the generously dimensioned square there are town houses, the neo-Gothic town hall, the district office and city data, city information and the market fountain.

  2. “How beautiful and picturesque the location looks from the outside, especially from the Saantal, so disturbing is the impression as soon as you step inside. Consisting of around 250 small, unsightly, mostly wooden houses, which enclose a large square, but unpaved and uneven square in a few irregular alleys, it is more like an open market town than the capital of a district. ”Hermann Julius Meyer. The large conversation lexicon for the educated classes 1851, p. 38
