Old market

You are in the old town market, right next to Poljički trg, which became one of the main places of trade in Omiš in the 17th century. Although today's market and fish market are not exactly in the same place where they once were, they are still the heart of local trade, just like a few centuries ago. In the Middle Ages, trade took place along the main city streets and in front of churches, and Poljički trg then became the first organized place where local products and fresh fish were sold. People didn't just shop here - the market was and remains a place for meetings, conversations and everyday "chat", which is still typical of the Mediterranean way of life today. Interestingly, the famous Pillar of Shame was also located near the market, where violators of city rules were punished, which shows how important this space was for the life of the entire community. Although the market has changed location, its role has not changed - it still brings people together, preserves tradition and reminds us of Omiš's rich past.
