At the intersection of these lines, as a characteristic sign of the “Town Hall”, there is a clock tower. The intention of the project was to create a modern building open to residents, which should be a local government building, ensuring good contact with the democratically elected authorities, located in a privileged area in terms of urban planning, which will invite to joint meetings and events.
