Grote Markt, Historic city square in Antwerp, Belgium
The Grote Markt features Renaissance-style guild houses with ornate facades surrounding a triangular plaza dominated by the Town Hall building.
The market square received its first official designation in 1310 when Duke Henry I of Brabant granted this communal ground to the city.
The Brabo Fountain depicts the Roman soldier Silvius Brabo throwing the severed hand of giant Antigoon, connecting to the origin story of Antwerp.
The central location provides direct access to numerous Belgian restaurants, cafes with outdoor seating, and the UNESCO-listed Town Hall from 1564.
The square serves as the starting point for the Tour of Flanders cycling race and hosts the Bollekesfeest beer festival each summer.
