In the 12th century, Villach grew due to its importance as a market. That made a relocation of the town square (=market square) necessary – from the Widmanngasse to it´s todays location. Until 1883 the weekly markets were held on the main square.

Particularly interesting are the Renaissance buildings around the main square. Some of them offer access to beautiful arcaded court yards which are absolutely worth exploring
