It is the city's oldest and most important square from the fifteenth century. There were nine wax melting furnaces on Kaunas Town Hall Square, one of which had been on exhibit since 2002. Until the 16th century, the area served as a marketplace. Markets, fairs, festivities, and other activities occurred here. Brick buildings were first developed in Kaunas about this time. Because it was where all the primary rites of social life took place, the so-called feasts could also occur. There people could observe the execution of the convicted sentences. Until the 17th century, many people were punished, both fairly and unfairly. These were the people accused of witchcraft: herbalists, sorceresses, and those who spoke with the devil. Ulona, the first Lithuanian witch, was burned at the town hall for allegedly snatching and killing poor townspeople's infants and using their blood to make poison.
