Comments:
A point in the historic Wroclaw Pathway, a trail that runs along Nankiera Street and describes events of influence in the city’s history

The current sign marks the year 1242 - after it was burnt by its inhabitants with a view to causing the Mongols withdrawal, the city is being rebuilt within its borders today. The rebuilt city embraced the Magdeburg Rights - self-determination rights and local government.
The sign itself has the Latin inscription stating that the city has adopted the Magdeburg Laws

Translation of the text on the sign:
Under Magdeburg Rules (Latin)
