Kamienne bruki Górnego Miasta w Poznaniu
Abstract
Stone pavements of the Upper City in Poznań.
A b s t r a c t. The article presents several examples of historical fragments of streets of Poznań in the so called Upper City with preserved granite gutters, stone pavements with cube dimensions 18 × 20 cm and 10 × 20 cm. Attention was also paid to the presence of setts made of basalt basin, as well as to the roads paved with fieldstone. These increasingly rare fragments of metropolitan streets should be subject to historical and architectural protection. They should be treated as the historic fabric of every city with a long and significant tradition.
