Byxtorget - Central Square

In the middle of the city you will find Byxtorget. It's a place where people gather to meet each other, looking and listen to any of Piteås performances. 
At the Square you will find the tree called poppeln. Here you can also find embellishment in honor of pite sons Daniel Solander C and CJ Bostrom.
No one knows for sure where the name Byxtorget (Pants Square) comes from, it may have been because there were two tailorings located nearby.
