A narrow, winding street in a 14th century European town

A narrow, winding street in a 14th century European town, lined with half-timbered brick buildings, their wooden beams weathered to a dark brown, adorned with ornate iron lanterns and wooden shutters, punctuated by the occasional stone fountain or large wooden barrels. The cobblestone street is wet from a recent rain, reflecting the warm, diffused light of a cloudy afternoon, with a few pedestrians in traditional medieval attire, including a cloaked figure hurrying towards the nearby town square, and a group of villagers gathered near a street vendor, surrounded by baskets of fresh bread and apples. The atmosphere is one of quiet bustle, with hints of smoke rising from the chimneys and the distant sound of hammering on metal echoing through the air.
