The center of the historic inner city was formed by a rynk (square) marked out already when the city was being founded as a large marketplace with the extension of 22,000m2.

Its generous extension (the rynk is only a few meters smaller than the Wenceslas Square in Prague) attests to the efforts of the Benedictine Monastery aimed at making the newly founded colonization city comparable with Royal cities. At the beginning of the 19th century the square was still boasting its ancient looks. Nevertheless, its impressively tall Renaissance and Baroque gables were pulled down in the aftermath of the fire in 1822.

The rest of the picturesque appearance of the Trebic Central Square was lost for good in the second half of the 19th century with the demolition of city gates.

The sculptures of St. Cyrilius and St. Methodius located in the center of the square were made according to the design of L. Simek by the sculptor B. Seeling in 1885.
