In addition to individual and interesting historic buildings in Wodzislaw Śląski, the urban layout of the town itself is worthy of note. It is difficult to determine the exact date of the foundation of Wodzislaw Śląski, as it has not been preserved in any documents, even though it took place probably between 1246 and 1257. The central part of the urban layout of Wodzisław is of course the market square, which is actually one of the largest squares in Silesia.
