This is the central square of medieval Brussels. After the construction of the Town Hall (15th century), all workshops and guilds sought to place their representative offices here, closer to the city administration. For a long history, the malls were noisy here, holidays, fairs and knightly tournaments were held, as well as public trials and executions. Today, a flower market is based on the Grand Place, concerts and festivals are held, and every two years a 50.000 flower carpet of begonias "blooms" here.
What to look for in the squares (by the way, one of the most beautiful squares in the world! ):
- City Hall
- Guild buildings
- King's House or Bread House
- House of the Dukes of Brabant
