What structures can be called symbols of a medieval city? where were they located?

The main symbols of the medieval city were the town hall and the city cathedral. The town hall was located next to the market square. It contained the keys to the city gates and the city seal. The cathedral was necessarily in the city, since religiosity was characteristic of the people of that time. The cathedral was considered the patron saint of the city and its inhabitants; it was located on the market square itself. People gathered there to pray.
