Grote Markt, Central square in Antwerp, Belgium.
The Grote Markt features numerous guild houses with Renaissance facades surrounding a triangular marketplace anchored by the Brabo Fountain.
Built between 1561 and 1565, the Renaissance-style City Hall stands on the foundations of an earlier structure that was destroyed by fire.
The guildhalls around the square represent different merchant associations, with Sint-Joris at number 7 maintaining its original 16th-century facade.
The square contains multiple restaurants and cafes, while during winter months it transforms into a festive space with a Christmas market.
The central Brabo Fountain depicts a Roman soldier throwing a giant's severed hand, illustrating a local legend about the Scheldt River toll.
