Grand-Place, Medieval square in Tournai, Belgium
The Grand-Place forms a triangular space of 7,500 square meters where multiple ancient roads meet in the center of Tournai.
The square functioned as a cemetery from the first to fourth century before evolving into a marketplace during the Carolingian period.
The Princess of Epinoy statue, created in 1863, stands in the square to honor Marie-Christine de Lalaing's defense against Alexander Farnese.
Multiple water fountains provide refreshment points throughout the square, while cafes and restaurants line the perimeter for dining options.
The 72-meter Belfry contains 256 steps leading to observation points that reveal panoramic views across the city of Tournai.
