Despite much of its main hall having been converted into a modern supermarket, Hala Mirowska is worth visiting for its architecture alone. The ornate red-brick pavilion of this late-19th-century marketplace is in exceptional condition. Surrounding the main hall are traditional stalls selling fresh flowers, fruit, vegetables and other produce.
